"Everything's Coming Up Roses" by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 40"w x 30"h; (c) Amy Guidry 2007; Permanent collection of The City of Slidell

I’m excited to announce that my painting Everything’s Coming Up Roses is now in the permanent collection of The City of Slidell.  It is an acrylic on canvas, 40″ wide by 30″ high, and from my Beneath the Surface series from 2006-2007.  It will be located at City Hall in Slidell, Louisiana (just outside of New Orleans), which is my original hometown.  I am honored to have a piece in their collection and am in great company as they also have work by George Rodrigue, Barbara Shaw, and George Dunbar, among others.  View the painting (as well as zoom in) at this direct link: www.amyguidry.com/everythings_roses.html.

"Interdependent" by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 4" x 4"; SOLD; (c) Amy Guidry 2012

One of my more recent paintings has found a new home in time for Valentine’s Day.  Interdependent is one of the small works from my In Our Veins series and is an acrylic on canvas, 4″ x 4″ square.  This series deals with the life cycle and the impact that each species has on one another, which is represented in Interdependent.  The roots of the tree have a vaguely similar texture and color as the deer antlers, so I took liberty in morphing them together to illustrate the connection of all life forms.  The butterflies, as seen in several paintings in this series, are a metaphor for life and our mortality.  They are beautiful, delicate, and fragile, and here for a short time, reminding us that life is precious.

New Paintings

1 Comment

I’ve recently added two new paintings to my In Our Veins series.  The first is The Ties That Bind, an acrylic on canvas, 6″ wide by 12″ high and is available through Wally Workman Gallery in Austin, TX.  Next is a new small painting, Full Circle, also acrylic on canvas, and is 4″ x 4″ square.  Both paintings deal with the life cycle and how everything eventually becomes part of the earth, continuously nourishing and fostering new life.  We often forget that everything has a role in nature, which The Ties That Bind serves as a reminder of this.  Every species is connected and to remove one creates a domino effect leading back to us.  Get a better view of each painting here www.amyguidry.com/ties_that_bind.html and www.amyguidry.com/full-circle.html.

"United States of Consumerism" by Amy Guidry; 2007; acrylic on canvas; 30"w x 24"h; (c) Amy Guidry 2012; SOLD

Happy 2012!  This is my first post for the New Year…funny it’s regarding my last sale of the past year.  My painting United States of Consumerism has just been added to a fantastic local collection of art.  This painting was done in 2007 as part of a series of social commentary works, Beneath the Surface.  It is an acrylic on canvas, 24″ high by 30″ wide.  A couple of my artist friends thought I was nuts to take on such a piece since I painted each and every dollar bill and penny on there.  No stamps, no gimmicks.  By the time I finished, all my tiny little paintbrushes had splayed bristles and were completely unusable.  I also had to put in some long hours to finish it in time for an exhibition.  Regardless, I was happy with the outcome.  The photos just don’t do it justice, but you can view a larger image of it here.

"Awakening" by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 48"w x 24"h; (c) Amy Guidry 2011; SOLD

Another New Realm painting has found a new home.  Awakening is one of the earlier paintings from the series and is one of the largest at 48″ wide by 24″ high.  The single butterfly represents growth and freedom, themes that are heavily present in this series.  As stated on my website, New Realm challenges the antiquated views of women as often seen in fairy tales.  Using a surreal backdrop, it is a modern tale which presents the heroine as a strong and courageous woman.  I’m also happy to say that several paintings from this series will be included in a upcoming exhibition featuring works from early in my career to the present.  More details on that closer to time.  Meanwhile, you can check out this series as well as a closeup of Awakening at www.amyguidry.com/awakening.html.

New Small Paintings

1 Comment

I recently added two new small paintings to the In Our Veins series.  My latest newsletter featured both paintings (which if you would like to receive, sign up information is here: www.amyguidry.com/contact.html) and there is still one available.  The titles are Generate and Ephemeral, each are 4″ x 4,” acrylic on canvas.  Generate (sold) pertains to the life cycle and how life continues, hence the flowers growing out of the wolf’s back.  Ephemeral is still available ($100- contact me if interested) and features a moth with a heart, ribcage, and vertebrae superimposed upon it.  The premise of the painting is the importance of life- so fragile, precious, and short, in the scheme of things- and serves as a reminder to live life to the fullest.  Both paintings can be viewed (larger) on my website at www.amyguidry.com/ephemeral.html.

"Untitled (Deer)" by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 4" x 4"; (c) Amy Guidry 2011; SOLD

I’ve just added two new paintings to the In Our Veins series- one of which I will post later since I’ll be including photos from my actual painting process, so be on the lookout.  The other is a small painting, 4″ x 4,” acrylic on canvas, titled Untitled (Deer).  These small paintings are pretty popular in that they sell almost immediately.  Which is why I am posting a new piece that is already sold.  I will be adding more at this size, in addition to a variety of sizes, but I give my subscribers the first viewing.  So if you would like the opportunity to see my latest work and purchase it while it’s still available, please sign up for my newsletter.  Facebook posts have a short shelf-life, as do Twitter, so this latest painting sold before anyone even knew about it.  The newsletter is monthly and also gives a concise list of where I’m exhibiting at the moment as well as other news.  You can sign up at www.amyguidry.com/contact.html (just click on the “newsletter” icon).

"Release" by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 36"w x 48"h; (c) Copyright Amy Guidry 2008

Another painting from my New Realm series has found a new home.  The painting is titled Release and was done in 2008.  It is an acrylic on canvas, 36″ wide by 48″ high.  This is a popular painting from the series and one of the more substantially sized ones.  The new owners were particularly moved by this piece and likewise, I was moved by the significance this painting had for them.  I won’t go into any details here because it is a personal story and will remain so.  However, it just goes to show that it truly does not matter if you are not an artist or an art historian in order to appreciate art.  I would never deny someone their feelings towards a piece because those feelings are based on personal experiences and memories that I know nothing about.  Sure, I have my own thoughts, feelings, and reasons behind my paintings, but that doesn’t make them any more “legit” than those of others.  The same could be said for books, poetry, music, movies, and so on.  I was truly touched by what these new collectors had to say, and appreciated that they shared something so personal with me.  Their story has actually added to my own story behind the work.  I enjoy telling stories through my art, but I love to hear the stories that others have to tell as well.

"Untitled" by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 4" x 4"; (c) Amy Guidry 2011; SOLD

The latest painting from my In Our Veins series has just sold.  I just finished it a matter of weeks ago, so I feel like it’s still hot off the easel.  I love working with small paintings given that I use such tiny brushes.  Sometimes it can seem a bit daunting to finish a large painting when it consists of meticulous dabs of paint.  That said, these small sizes are great for me and great for new collectors (or those with lots of art and not enough space!).  Untitled was the last of my 4″ x 4″ paintings, but I will be creating more at this size.  I will be posting them here, but I give my newsletter subscribers the first viewing, so if you would like first dibs, be sure to sign up here: www.amyguidry.com/contact.html.

"Sequence" by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 6"w x 12"h; (c) Amy Guidry 2011; SOLD

Another In Our Veins painting has found a new home.  My painting Sequence has sold and is already at its new residence.  This is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ wide by 12″ high.  The In Our Veins series deals with the life cycle and the role of every living organism in it.  With Sequence, life and death are represented with new life- plants, animals, insects- leading one to the next, from the skull.  The animals loosely follow a natural hierarchy, many of them following each other in the food chain.  The roses were part of the original sketch and seemed appropriate given that we use roses to celebrate life as well as to honor those that have passed.  You can read more about the series as well as view a larger image of Sequence here.
