My painting Perspective has found a new home. Perspective is another painting from my In Our Veins series and is a 4″ x 4″ acrylic on canvas. These tiny hare heads required some tiny brushes with barely there bristles. I always like a challenge, though- it keeps me on my toes. If you’ve been following my work, you may have come to that conclusion… So if you are new, this series deals with the connections between all life forms and our role in the life cycle. I feel that environmental issues as well as animal welfare are a large part of that discussion as they go hand-in-hand. With this in mind, many of the animals in In Our Veins are depicted as just heads or limbs, such as the hares in Perspective. While thinking of animals as simply parts and a means to an end is a common view, I see them as sentient beings and a significant part of the world we live in. While I depict them as ‘missing pieces,’ I focus on the expressiveness of their eyes and faces to relay their importance. You can learn more about the series as well as view the paintings at this direct link: www.amyguidry.com/wild_west.html.
Also of note: if you are in the Lafayette area or planning a visit, you can see works from my In Our Veins series in person at the Paul & Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum starting September 15th through December 8th.
