Beach Day 2


8" x 8" Oil on Canvas, $400

We have moved back to the coast, after 27 years
in the Arizona desert.
I am thrilled to be in the coastal town of
Beaufort, SC.

Although my focus these days is
abstract artwork,
I have a few special pieces of
representational work
that I am posting.

Please let me know if you're interested.

Joyful Grid


Mixed Media, 6" x 6" $100

amy.whitehouse@me.com

After moving across country
from Arizona to South Carolina,
and waiting for 3+ weeks for
furniture and other belongings
to arrive,
unpacking for two weeks,
and loving our new environs,
I've finally been able to make some art.
I love the grid as a
unifying element,
mark-making as personal voice,
and a limited palette
to keep it together.

Stormy Sea Oats

 


Oil, 11" x 14" $150

Beach storms are beautiful as long as they don't turn 
into hurricanes.
The sky gets dramatic grays and purples and blues,
the sun shines through it all sometimes,
and the sea oats seem to be notes
in a musical composition.

Please contact me for purchase.

Summer Fun

 


Oil, 24" x 24" $800

This abstract had several iterations before finding its landing spot.

What I love about creating abstract art:
1. It's waaaay more challenging than it looks.
2. There are a billion directions a painting can take.
3. It's fun when it all finally comes together.

Please LMK if interested in having this large piece in your
home or office. I think it's a happy painting.

with no forethought as to what I'm after
other than a pleasing image -
keeps the challenge of abstract fresh.

Giclee, with mat measures 16" x 20"
$35 + shipping

GIANT STUDIO SALE.
As I continue to create more art, and my studio continues to fill up, I find I have not quite enough space to paint, much less teach private lessons. Also as I recognize a down-size move in the future, I know I need to sell some of my artwork. I'm starting with giclées. A giclée is a high quality print. In fact these were produced by the same printer who makes reproductions for the Phoenix Art Museum. They have mats, backings, and acetate protective coverings, and are ready to frame. I'm selling them below my cost, and hope they'll find happy homes. Maybe you have a gift to give: birthday, housewarming, graduation, anniversary; or maybe you'd like some new art to spruce up your home or office. LMK!

Abstract Reflections

Exploring the world of abstract art 
has been challenging, mystifying, and delightful,

what mark-making gives the "feel" I like.
