Favorite Sunflower, Contemporary Floral Paintings by Arizona Artist Amy Whitehouse

11" x 14" Print of Oil Painting, $79

This painting was done in the negative painting style

taught to me by fellow artist Amy Tuso of Fountain Hills, AZ.

I started by  brushing on various colors at random all over the canvas.

Then I took a look and seemed to discern a sunflower hiding in there.

So I painted the negative space, or the "air" around the flower,

and let the sunflower emerge. 

This is one of my favorite paintings,

so I had some high quality prints made

on heavy, beautiful paper,

in order to make this painting available

at a very affordable price.

Cloud Rising, Landscape Paintings by Arizona Artist Amy Whitehouse

16" x 20", Oil, $400

This was such a fun piece to put together; it reminds me of

different subjects, all expressing their vision

with wonderful results.

I do love my job.

Sea Oats 2, Fernandina Beach, Seascapa Paintings by Arizona Artist Amy Whitehouse

sometimes I feel I get the best ones done at those times,

"It's now or never."

Anyway, I love the way this one turned out,

and hope you do too.

Tea Time, Still Life Paintings by Arizona Artist Amy Whitehouse

16" x 20" Oil, $350

This scene makes me think of my genteel great-aunts,

Jenny Ray and Florence Clark,

and a particular visit I had as a girl.

I was over at Aunt Florence's home,

probably around 1959...and it was tea time.

She asked if I would like lemon or milk in my cup of tea,

and I responded "both."

Aunt Florence said that would not be good,

but I was confidently insistent.

Learned my lesson!

This painting is available for purchase:

Lake Side, Landscape Paintings by Arizona Artist Amy Whitehouse

9" x 12", Oil, $175

I am liking the immediacy of painting with the

pure pigment oil sticks;

My hope is that the viewer can interact more with the painting

than if I "spell it all out".

Who knows when I'll change to something altogether different,

but for now the abstract quality and freshness appeals to me.

If interested in this painting, please contact me at

Rose, Floral Paintings by Arizona Artist Amy Whitehouse

8" x 10" Oil, $150

Painted with a palette knife, I was seeking a cross between

representational and abstract.  I also went for a very neutral background

so that the star of the show would pop.

I gained a lovely, talented new adult painting student, Betty.

Mark and I had an evening walk during the last light of another

spectacular Arizona sunset,

a LOT of coyotes.

Chloe got bathed.

Delicious burritos for dinner thanks to Mark.

Girl Scout Thin Mints for dessert.

As for the painting,

I'm not quite ready to part with this sunflower,

but I've been working with Phoenix Photo Lab
