"Sequence" by Amy Guidry; acrylic on canvas; 6"w x 12"h; (c) Amy Guidry 2011; SOLD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At last, I have finally finished another painting from the “In Our Veins” series.\u00a0 I’m always looking for ways to improve, no matter how big or small, so I really focused on the textures in this piece.\u00a0 Though you can’t really tell here, so be sure to go to my website for a better look, in addition to a zoom-in feature (the magnifying glass icon on the top right)- www.AmyGuidry.com\/sequence.html<\/a>.\u00a0 The title is “Sequence” and it is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ wide by 12″ high.<\/p>\n

Much of this series, as stated in my artist statement (which is posted on my website), deals with the life cycle so the title is in reference to that process.\u00a0 Both life and death are represented, new life- plants, animals- are seen building upon each other, one leading to the next, which is also why I opted for a long, vertical composition.\u00a0 The animals I chose follow, for the most part, a hierarchy of sorts as seen in nature.\u00a0 Though it may be odd for a vegan to discuss this, but the animals depicted follow each other in the food chain (side note- as a vegan, I realize this is a fact of life, however I<\/em> have a choice when it comes to what I eat).\u00a0 The roses were an almost subconscious choice at first, but seemed appropriate for the piece given that we use roses to celebrate life as well as to honor those that have passed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
