Birch Trees, Contemporary Monoprint by Amy Whitehouse


6" x 6" Monoprint, $65

We've had more of a winter than usual here in Arizona this year.
Just a little over an hour north of Phoenix,
the birch trees are bare, the air is still,
and one can often spot a snowman
left behind to entertain passers-by.

This simple depiction of the birch trees
evokes the feel of winter in Northern Arizona
and elsewhere, I hope.

Calm after the Storm, Beach and Ocean Paintings by Amy Whitehouse


6" x 8" Acrylic, $125

Once again, it has been a long time since I've posted. My new job as Art teacher to Kindergarteners, and First, Second, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Graders,
has filled my weeks.
It is gratifying work if demanding.
This past week, as one little second grade boy was working,
he said,
"This is the best art project ever!"
That did my heart good.

This morning I'm trying to make sense of the clutter in my studio.
I am reposting this little painting as it's one of my favorites,
and it reminds me to do my own Art
for the good of me.

If interested in purchasing,
