I’m excited to announce the “arrival” of my new video project featuring In Our Veins. This latest video is an in-depth look into the series, discussing my thoughts behind several paintings, as well as some great closeup views of the work. The video is narrated by Cheryl Mack (she also narrated the New Realm video- many people have asked if it was me). My description does not do it justice- so be sure to check it out by clicking the image below or visiting Youtube at http://youtu.be/raQXeTBHJTQ.

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.
Initial sketch on canvas for “Interconnected” by Amy Guidry
Beginning stages of initial paint layer
Initial rough layer of heart and sky are complete
More progress in the intial rough layer of paint
Finished with the initial rough layer; now adding more paint to the sky
Adding more paint to the sky, layer upon layer, to build it up
Sky is finished; adding detail and the next layer to the right mountain
One of my medical reference books
Mountain on the right is finished, working on the left mountain
Mountains are done, now working on the next layer of the heart
Adding more color and detail to the heart
Heart is finished, now adding more layers to the water
Still adding to the water, building up color and detail
