A tiny painting from 2014. One of the few pieces I've done on cardstock, otherwise I normally paint on canvas. The butterflies are a symbol for life, both beautiful and fragile. "Intertwined" Acrylic on cardstock 4" tondo #art #painting #surrealism #nature #butterflies #contemporaryart

Thank you to the person that just gave this painting a new home.❤️ From my solo show earlier at LeMieux Galleries in New Orleans, some of which you can find here: lemieuxgalleries.com/artist/amy-g... "Mind's Eye" Acrylic on canvas 5" x 5" #art #painting #surrealism #nature #NOLA #contemporaryart

A painting from 2013, referencing our connection to nature; the white background from my initial sketch seemed appropriate, leaving the focus on the subjects. "Bond" Acrylic on canvas 12" x 12" #art #painting #surrealism #horses #nature #contemporaryart

Opening tonight! Momentum Magi: Year of the Fire Horse + The Magician Card exhibition at La Matadora Gallery in Joshua Tree, CA. Opening reception 6-9pm. lamatadoragallery.org "Cyclical" Acrylic on canvas 8" x 10" #art #painting #surrealism #firehorse #skull #California #JoshuaTree

Hard to believe this painting is from 2013. One of several pieces incorporating the brain as a symbol for sentience, our connection to nature, and our moral obligation to the planet and its inhabitants. "Conscience" Acrylic on canvas 8" x 6" #art #painting #surrealism #nature #horses #brain

Beginnings of a new painting. This is the very early stage of roughing in the underpainting. #art #painting #paintingprocess #paintingvideo #tigers #surrealism

A tiny painting from 2018. Features a Manx Loaghtan sheep, a rare primitive breed of sheep native to the Isle of Man. The human eye in the center of the rose refers to our connection to all flora and fauna. "Interlace" Acrylic on canvas 4" x 4" #art #painting #surrealism #nature #wildlife

Well this just made my day! 🙂

New painting on my website. Focuses on mortality and resilience of nature. The skull and moon both symbols of renewal, the lion symbolizes strength and protection. www.amyguidry.com/in-our-veins... "The Sands of Time" Acrylic on canvas 10" x 8" #art #painting #surrealism #nature #contemporaryart

This painting from 2017 came back from a gallery and I was finally able to get a better photo of it. Thinking of the impact of the BP oil spill, especially on Louisiana's wildlife for this piece. "Pervasive" Acrylic on canvas 10" x 20" #art #painting #pelicans #birds #nature #wetlands #surrealism

Sketch for a new painting. Name that bird 😀 #art #birds #sketch #drawing #nature #contemporaryart

Another tiny painting from 2017. This is one from a series of pieces I thought of as "butterfly eyes." Butterflies being a metaphor for life, both beautiful and fragile. "Ethereal" Acrylic on canvas 4" x 4" #art #painting #surrealism #tiger #cats #nature #butterflies #contemporaryart

Little before and after video of my new painting "Cyclical." The sketch in the beginning is on a very recycled, recycled piece of paper. 🙂 #art #painting #surrealism #skull #horses #nature #contemporaryart

This just made my day. Thank you so much, Maddy @cowardlylyons.bsky.social 🥰

New painting, appropriate for The Year of the Horse though I sketched it last year. Exploring mortality, renewal and transformation. I see it as a hopeful piece. We need hope. "Cyclical" Acrylic on canvas 8" x 10" #art #painting #surrealism #horses #yearofthehorse #contemporaryart

An older painting from 2014. I've been busy behind the scenes working on some larger paintings as well as some smalls. Looking forward to sharing those soon. "Clan" Acrylic on canvas 6" x 6" #art #painting #surrealism #wolf #wolves #nature #contemporaryart

Excited and honored that my paintings "Void" and "Unknown" are on the front and back covers of the new "Bestiary" anthology released by Dark Mountain Project. The hardcover is now available on their website: dark-mountain.net/product/dark... #art #painting #animals #nature #bestiary #animalart

Sharing this painting from 2020. The spider is based off of several different species, so aside from the abdomen (obviously), doesn't actually exist. Finding beauty in what many call creepy. "Fragile" Acrylic on canvas 5" x 5" #art #painting #surrealism #arachnid #spider #nature #contemporaryart

Little peek at GUM Magazine's new issue (formerly SplashLand). My painting "Heatwave" is featured alongside "West Hollywood Library Pool" written by Caroline Clair Mcdonald. The new issue is available on their website: www.chewgumonline.com/shop #art #painting #contemporaryart #artist #artmagazine

Good news! If you missed my solo show at LeMieux Galleries in NOLA, they have a wall of my paintings up through their May 2nd opening and Jazz Fest. These are just a few and you can view online: www.lemieuxgalleries.com/artist/amy-g... #art #painting #surrealism #nature #contemporaryart #NOLA

Did a sketch for Calico Exhibitions & the GLCU's postcard art show in Kittery, ME. The Mail Room exhibit serves as a portal of connection receiving and sending artwork, wishes, and blessings back into the world. Up now & online www.kenleydarling.com/glcu-office #art #drawing #moth #insects #nature

A painting from 2021 that I thought was an appropriate follow-up to the Borzoi I just painted, given my penchant for pink scrollwork apparently. 😆 "Tendril" Acrylic on canvas 5" x 5" #art #painting #surrealism #prayingmantis #Insects #contemporaryart

New painting! Took liberties with the Borzoi's hair, reminiscent of the wavy-patterned bushes. The tongue also follows suit, as many patterns are often repeated throughout nature, a reminder that all life is connected. "Echoes" Acrylic on canvas 10" x 8" #art #borzoi #dogs #nature #surrealism

New painting created for Modern Eden Gallery’s Restless Garden exhibition. Exploring our attempts to tame nature though nature always wins. Opening tonight 6-9pm or get a preview: [email protected] "Domesticate" Acrylic on canvas 5" x 5" #art #painting #surrealism #cats #nature #contemporaryart

One of the few paintings I've done on paper. It was created for a Lover's Eye-themed show at Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco. I'll also have new work in their upcoming show opening April 2nd. "Insight" Acrylic on paper 6" x 4" #art #painting #surrealism #nature #rabbits #contemporaryart

Throwback to this painting from 2017. I've been working on new paintings and looking forward to sharing soon as I have an exhibition coming up at Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco. "Sentience" Acrylic on canvas 6" x 6" #art #painting #surrealism #wolf #nature #contemporaryart

An oldie from 2010. There are so many iterations of this one buried in a sketchbook somewhere (no pun intended 🙂) as I was trying to figure out what to put beneath the tree. "Symbiotic" Acrylic on canvas 11" x 14" #art #painting #surrealism #nature #animals #contemporaryart

A small painting from 2020. No rulers used for the lace. Long ago I cleaned up a sketch with a ruler and it just didn't look as good. Perfect is boring. The little imperfections make things interesting. "Lattice" Acrylic on canvas 5" x 5" #art #painting #surrealism #spider #nature #contemporaryart

Throwback to 2018. I'm working on new paintings plus an upcoming group show. Monthly newsletter subscribers get the preview, so if you'd like the first look you can sign up here: amyguidry.com/contact.html "Renew" Acrylic on canvas 6" x 6" #art #painting #surrealism #cats #nature #contemporaryart
