I’m excited to announce that my painting Everything’s Coming Up Roses is now in the permanent collection of The City of Slidell. It is an acrylic on canvas, 40″ wide by 30″ high, and from my Beneath the Surface series from 2006-2007. It will be located at City Hall in Slidell, Louisiana (just outside of New Orleans), which is my original hometown. I am honored to have a piece in their collection and am in great company as they also have work by George Rodrigue, Barbara Shaw, and George Dunbar, among others. View the painting (as well as zoom in) at this direct link: www.amyguidry.com/everythings_roses.html.

Another In Our Veins painting has found a new home. My painting Sequence has sold and is already at its new residence. This is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ wide by 12″ high. The In Our Veins series deals with the life cycle and the role of every living organism in it. With Sequence, life and death are represented with new life- plants, animals, insects- leading one to the next, from the skull. The animals loosely follow a natural hierarchy, many of them following each other in the food chain. The roses were part of the original sketch and seemed appropriate given that we use roses to celebrate life as well as to honor those that have passed. You can read more about the series as well as view a larger image of Sequence here.

At last, I have finally finished another painting from the “In Our Veins” series. I’m always looking for ways to improve, no matter how big or small, so I really focused on the textures in this piece. 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. The title is “Sequence” and it is an acrylic on canvas, 6″ wide by 12″ high.
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. 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. The animals I chose follow, for the most part, a hierarchy of sorts as seen in nature. 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 have a choice when it comes to what I eat). 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.
