The exhibition opening and awards ceremony will take place October 19th from 7-9pm. The show will remain up through December 6th.
My studio has recently received a makeover! After much consideration, it is now “Soulful Blue.” Blue is said to be conducive to creativity so I’ll be putting it to the test!

Painting in progress by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 10″w x 20″h; (c) Amy Guidry 2013
I recently posted my latest work in progress. Since doing the basic sketch on canvas, I’ve added a rough first layer of paint and then moved on to the background and some of the animals. The deer is currently in progress and I will move on to the remaining animals next. It is an acrylic on canvas, 10″ wide by 20″ high. This painting is part of my In Our Veins series which can be found here: www.amyguidry.com/wild_west.html.
My work has recently been featured on Artistic Moods. Many thanks to Sandra Apperloo for the feature which includes many of my paintings from over the years. She writes, “A glimpse at the surreal paintings of Louisiana-based artist Amy Guidry is likely make you stare at them for a long time. Using acrylic on canvas, Amy challenges subjects such as life, death, individualism and exploitation in beautiful works that easily leaves the viewer curious for more.” View the feature online here: www.artisticmoods.com/amy-guidry/.
