New Realm- Paintings by artist Amy Guidry

[FischkindMC]

I was quite surprised to see such paintings from an American . . . Anyway, after checking all your paintings on your website I can deliver a judgement: Your art is more than simply critical, it has ideals that are worth imitating it, which prooves that you can think yourself. Not bad! (be aware that this is a litotes). I am working on the same topic, but I write because I can' t paint. Somehow you managed to paint the the same sort of images I have in my brain.

@FischkindMC I paint because I can't write :-)  Thanks so much! I'm glad you checked out my website as well to see the scope of my work. I greatly appreciate it!

@AmyGuidryArtist This is indeed a phenomenon I can' t explain! It was a must to see all your paintings, they support me writing poems and novels. There are very few works that have a message that remains true for centuries and frankly, you are very close to creating one. The point is that you don' t try reacting on the zeitgeist but explore your own limits in order to discover yourself - at least with the "New Realm" series. The woman you are painting is not only you, she represents the ideal

@FischkindMC of woman. The astonishing thing is that you don' t create a dreamer' s world, it still remains down to earth - this is why I like it so much. In fact it is a hymn on the natural beauty of women, you show them in all their elegance and feminine power. Every man and woman wonders who they are. In the end life is the way to recognize who and what for you are. These paintings are free of all the mistakes humans do in their life. They are the complete woman. However, why do you paint the

[AmyGuidryArtist]

@FischkindMC Some of the paintings feature high collar blouses, others are dresses. The clothing is modern and feminine- lace, ruffles, light colors- but hints at styles seen in fairytales, usually associated with royalty. This is a modern "fairytale" so I wanted to keep everything current.

women with long, closed collars? I can' t understand, why.

absolutly inspiring!!!! I'm going to be painting later and you have filled my imagination with many fascinating ideas!!! You have splendid talent!

[AmyGuidryArtist]

@Blackpoppy26 Thank you!! I'm honored that my work has inspired you- I hope you had a creative day!

@MrMilo13 Thank you for the kind words. Yes, I used myself as a model but that was out of convenience. Some people think the series is meant to be self-portraiture, which I can certainly relate to this story, but it is meant to be representative of women in general and the challenges they face. I needed one person to serve as a model for a huge series, so it was more convenient (and free!) to use myself. Not to mention I work long days, well into the evening sometimes. :)

Thank you!! Actually, I have not shown in Seattle....yet! I'd love to get in a gallery there. I'll keep you posted.

I stumbled across your work a while back...you're amazingly talented. Are you or have you shown any of your work in Seattle?

[AmyGuidryArtist]

Thanks so much for the kind words. This is a preview video of sorts, so there will be more eventually :-) Thanks again. It means a lot to me.

This is a simply amazing video. I could only dream to one day have the talents that you have and be able to paint so realistically. The meaning behind these paintings is inspiring. Thank you for posting this. I'll be visiting your website momentarily. :)
