I’ve recently begun a new painting in my In Our Veins series. As featured here I start with a rough sketch on canvas to work out the positioning and basic outline of the subject(s) before moving on to the first layer of paint. It will be an acrylic on canvas and it is 10″ wide by 20″ high. I’ll be posting more about this piece soon, in the meantime, check out the series here: www.amyguidry.com/wild_west.html.

I’ve just finished two new paintings in my In Our Veins series. The first is titled Connections and is a 6″ x 6″ acrylic on canvas. The second is titled Bound and is 6″ wide by 4″ high, also acrylic on canvas. While both are different in content, the basis behind each painting is very similar. Both illustrate the connection between all species, whether plants or animals, including humans and serve as a reminder of the significance of such a relationship. View the paintings online here www.amyguidry.com/connections.html and here www.amyguidry.com/bound.html.

My work was recently featured on the Visual News. Managing editor Benjamin Starr writes, “The recent collection of paintings from Louisiana based artist Amy Guidry brings the surreal so certainly into existence it seems to easily step off the canvas into reality.” I also had the opportunity to answer a few questions about my series. You can read the feature online here: Visualnews.com/2013/04/09/amy-guidry-explores-the-psychology-of-life-and-death/#more-81985.

The last available 4″ x 4″ painting in my In Our Veins series has just been sold. Division is an acrylic on canvas and was created around the end of 2012. The buyer had asked about my thoughts behind the piece so I thought I’d share them here as well. ‘Division’ refers to not only the physical separation (humans tend to refer to animals as parts- rump, breast, wing, etc.) but also the divide that we create as far as animals’ worth is concerned. Why is there a divide between animals that we regard as either pets or as food or as working animals? There is even a divide among humans’ beliefs due to religious or moral distinctions. I depict animals throughout the series, and as seen here, as simply heads or limbs to represent the common viewpoint while emphasizing their importance through their expressions or their eyes, for instance, illustrating that they are indeed sentient beings.
