Given that it is September, I think just by the title alone everyone can surmise that I am a little late in posting this. Nevertheless, I wanted to share some photos from the closing reception of the 47th National Juried Exhibition- “The Summer Show” held by the St. Tammany Art Association at The Art House in Covington, LA. It was a really strong show, saw several pieces I’d like to own, and a nice turnout. The show was juried by Miranda Lash, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art for the New Orleans Museum of Art.

It’s been an insanely busy week, hence my lack of posting sooner. The good news is I will be revealing a new painting I’ve been slaving over for quite some time, so be on the lookout for it. I also have an upcoming show which is just a couple of weeks away. I will be in a 3-person exhibit at Barrister’s Gallery in New Orleans next month with Nikki Crook and Monique Ligons. I’ll be showing works from my In Our Veins series, my most recent body of work. This should be a really fun show and opening night will also be held in conjunction with the SCAD Artwalk, May 12th from 6-9pm. For those of you that would like to get a sneak preview, you can check it out here: www.barristersgallery.com/upcoming.html.

I’ve just finished my first painting of the New Year! This is another new addition to the In Our Veins series titled Wolfpack. It is an acrylic on canvas, 12″ by 12″ square. I went through, on average, one paintbrush per wolf head on this one. I build up the colors in each layer and then start adding layers of hairs, working my way up to the lighter hairs, therefore my paintbrush takes a beating. Well worth it, though, since I am pleased with the outcome. This is a “sister piece” to my painting The Pack (which is one of the paintings I will have featured in the Surreal Salon at the Baton Rouge Gallery- Center for Contemporary Art!). You can check out both paintings on my website and for a better view of Wolfpack, visit www.amyguidry.com/wolfpack.html.

I’ve just finished another painting in the “In Our Veins” series. This one is titled “The Pack” and is an acrylic on canvas, 20″ wide by 10″ high. I took “some” photos of the painting as I was working on it from start to finish. Going through them, I just think “UGH!” I’m happy with the end result, but I have to admit that my back, neck, and shoulders took a beating after pouring long hours into this one. For a closer look at the finished piece, visit this direct link: AmyGuidry.com-The Pack.
