"Mike" by Amy Guidry; SOLD; Copyright Amy Guidry 2009<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I try to post as much as possible on here, but sometimes I slack off a bit when I’m really busy. Case in point. So while trying to catch up on recent news, I realized that I didn’t even post the last two paintings I sold. Sales are always good news, so that’s worth sharing. I sold two portraits that I had done awhile back. They were some of the first paintings I had done when I decided to paint professionally and make a career out of my art. I was especially glad since that series has dwindled down to not quite enough to have for a whole show, yet too many to have sitting in storage. And they didn’t exactly fit with my recent series, either. So now they have new homes, and I am very happy about that.<\/p>\n

Both paintings are the same size, 30″ tall by 24″ wide. A “medium” size that I do, depending on your definition of medium. (I know some artists think 4 or 5 feet is “medium” sized…)<\/p>\n

"Craig" by Amy Guidry; SOLD; Copyright Amy Guidry 2009<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And they are both framed, so that actually adds an 1 1\/2″ in each direction.\u00a0 The painting, “Mike,” is of a friend I met through my husband. The painting, “Craig,” is of my brother (you may recall seeing his picture in previous posts). The “Craig” painting is actually the first portrait I did for this series.<\/p>\n
