“Systems” by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 6″ x 6″; SOLD; (c) Amy Guidry 2013

My painting Systems from the In Our Veins series has recently found a new home.  It is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ x 6.”  I had posted a progress shot of this piece awhile back showing where I had left off with it.  I put this one on hiatus for over 2 years before revisiting it and finally completing it.  Sometimes it just takes a step back to suddenly see everything clearly.  View the finished painting online here: www.amyguidry.com/systems.html.

IPaintMyMind feature: Amy Guidry

My work was recently featured on IPaintMyMind.  Editor Evan La Ruffa writes, “Regardless of the ethos, which isn’t always as obvious as some onlookers hope for, we find Amy’s work pushes the boundaries of logic in various valuable directions. Art should provoke, and she certainly does.”  Read the full review here: http://ipaintmymind.org/art/amy-guidry/.

In the Studio

Two of the five colors I typically use to mix paints

Weird but true: blue + brown paint = black. I mix my own colors, so I don’t actually own any black, though I use it A LOT. I learned this handy tip years ago- mix Ultramarine blue with Burnt Umber to make black- it makes a richer color (and handy if you run out of the tube version).

Tree of Life

“Tree of Life” by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 4″w x 6″h; SOLD; (c) Amy Guidry 2013

I’ve recently finished another new painting in the In Our Veins series.  It’s titled Tree of Life and it is an acrylic on canvas, 4″ wide by 6″ high.  The idea for this one was from one of my earlier sketches, though I modified it a bit and added the moths.  View the painting online here: www.amyguidry.com/tree-of-life.html.

“Nurture” by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 4″ x 4″; SOLD; (c) Amy Guidry 2013

I’ve added a new painting to my In Our Veins series, which also quickly found a new home after featuring it in my recent newsletter.  Nurture is an acrylic on canvas, 4″ x 4.”  Nurture comes from one of my original sketches for this series and was perfect for the smaller canvas size.  I comb through my sketchbooks on a regular basis looking over ideas I’ve saved and reworking others.  I’d say about 95% of the paintings I do come from sketches I’ve created well in advance since I typically work on one painting at a time, hence the need to save ideas in my sketchbook.

Eclectic Living

“Adaptation” by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 36″w x 48″h; (c) Amy Guidry 2013

My work was recently featured on Eclectic Living Home’s blog.  Pam Battson writes, “Upon first glance these works appear to feature beautiful women with beautiful creatures until one delves deeper and discovers skeletons, animal heads, and flower sprouting skulls. Intriguing.”  View the feature online here: http://eclecticlivinghome.wordpress.com/2013/01/23/amy-guidry/.
