Afternoon Reflections, Beach and Ocean Paintings by Arizona Artist Amy Whitehouse


6" x 8" Oil, $125

Fresh off the easel this morning,
this contemporary beach painting is full of color and texture.
Painted with pure pigment oil sticks, the vibrancy stands out.
I hope I captured the many reflections seen on the beach
when the tide is out, and the day is coming to its end.

Florida Palms, Contemporary Landscape Paintings by Arizona Artist Amy Whitehouse


3" x 5" Oil, $95 + $5 shipping

Just back from a lovely vacation at Crescent Beach, Florida.
Naps, seafood, reading, walking on the gorgeous beach...
all heavenly!
I relaxed and rested and hardly did any art.

Now I'm motivated to dig back in to my art supplies,
and see what happens.
I also signed a contract today with a local school
to teach art this coming year.
That begins in August.  A new adventure.
