Lumen

“Lumen” by Amy Guidry; Acrylic on canvas; 5″ x 5″; SOLD; (c) Amy Guidry 2023

Happy to share my new painting Lumen which features a Calleta silkmoth. Most nocturnally active moths are attracted to light, a phenomenon known as positive phototaxis, but in Lumen, the light comes from the moth, as they represent life in my paintings. Lumen is an acrylic on canvas, 5″ wide by 5″ high, and available at LeMieux Galleries in New Orleans as well as via their website: https://www.lemieuxgalleries.com/art/lumen-by-amy-guidry.

I’m happy to reveal my painting Woven which was created for WOW x WOW’s MicroVisions 2 exhibition.

Sneak peek at a little piece in progress for an upcoming exhibition.  This is the initial sketch before I take it to canvas.  Full size is 5″ wide by 5″ high.

This is actually only the second time I’ve ever worked on a stag beetle.  The first was in my painting Symbiotic.  See if you can spot him.

New “New Realm” Painting

"Butterflies" by Amy Guidry; SOLD; From the New Realm series. Copyright Amy Guidry 2009

After a short break, I did end up painting another 4″ x 4″ panel piece from my New Realm series.  This one is “Butterflies” and features the red and black butterflies seen throughout the series.  I kept the composition rather simple given the small size of the panel.  These panels are great.  I found them one day while getting art supplies.  They’re so darn cute and very smooth.  Works wonders when doing tiny detail work (which is rather often for me…) so I do like working with them.  I do like canvas, too, though, so I won’t ever give that up. 

You can also view more of my New Realm series, including large pieces (and I do mean large!) on my website www.AmyGuidry.com.
