Amy Whitehouse Paintings: July 2022

Oil on paper, 6" x 6.25"

These colors bring me joy. They also speak to summer:

vacation, beach time, games, gatherings, boat rides.

I hope this little painting speaks to you.

Sometimes it's harder to create a "simple"

painting than it is to create a complicated one.

Probably because every line, every mark, every edge

is important. Whereas in a complicated/large/complex

painting, edges and lines and marks get lost in the overall image.

I love something contemplative and tender in a painting,

though I cannot always create such a thing.

Oil on Panel, 12" x 12"

This abstract painting makes me think of

fun summer activities

such as swimming, going to the beach,

discovering natural treasures.
