“Integral” by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 20″w x 10″h; (c) Amy Guidry 2015
I’ve (finally!) finished my latest painting in the In Our Veins series. The painting is titled Integral and is 20″ wide by 10″ high, acrylic on canvas. Integral explores the sometimes forgotten nature that we live in. The horses, though faceless, are still personable, a reminder of their importance. The landscape, tied to the horses, illustrates the connection between all life. View the painting online here: http://amyguidry.com/integral.html.

I’ve made a lot of progress on my latest painting in the In Our Veins series. You may recall seeing the very early stages of this painting from a previous post. The horses are now finished and I am currently building the layers of the landscape, adding fine detail work along the way. The size is 20″ wide by 10″ high, acrylic on canvas. I’ll post the finished painting as soon as it is complete, in the meantime, check out the series it comes from here: http://amyguidry.com/wild_west.html and here: http://amyguidry.com/wolfpack.html.

I’m happy to have my work go abroad and to such a wonderful, thoughtful new owner as well. It means so much to me to have someone show such appreciation for my work and to know that it speaks to them in such a personal manner. No award could ever compare.
Cultural Connections featured artist Amy Guidry; February 2012
I recently discovered that I am the current featured artist for Cultural Connections, the Louisiana Cultural Economy Foundation newsletter. I am honored to be selected for the month of February. Each month a representative of the arts is selected, which can be a visual artist, musician, culinary artist, etc. My painting Untitled (Heads) was the chosen image, which you can view on their site at http://culturaleconomy.org/2012/cc/ccbuild/cc0212/.
I’m excited about my latest project. I have just posted a new video to my YouTube channel featuring my painting process in a 30 second time-lapse video! The painting featured is “Interconnected” which you just saw me post last week. I had posted a few photos of my process but the video uses 89 photos which I had taken of the painting as I worked- it’s a 6″ x 6″ painting, so the smaller size worked well for this project seeing as I had to frequently stop to photograph it. The video shows the piece from start to finish, taking a 2+ week period and converting it into 30 seconds. If only it were that easy… You can check out the video by clicking the image above or go to YouTube at http://youtu.be/ExH6dRoV3KU.

I’ve just finished my latest painting in the “In Our Veins” series! The title is “Interconnected” and is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ x 6.” Yet again, I took some photos along the way as I was working. I must admit they are not the best quality photos, though, since I didn’t mess with the settings on the camera and some are blurry, most are crooked. Yikes. And to think I had to take a photography course back in college… just goes to show if you don’t use it, you lose it. Which is why for the final photo, I rely on a professional. Anyway, this blind old bat much prefers working a few inches away from a canvas with a teeny tiny paintbrush. For a closeup view of the final painting, you can view it here: http://www.amyguidry.com/interconnected.html.
