New Mexico

Oil, 24" x 30" $800

Having snapped a photo from the car window while driving

across New Mexico,

I was challenged to paint the landscape.

It came together rather quickly which is usually a good sign

that I "got" it.

Contemporary Southwest Landscape, "Early Morning," by Amy Whitehouse

Pastel, 9" x 12" $150

As the temperatures climb to 110 and beyond,

one must hike early or be very, very sorry.

The first light of the day is the most magical anyway.

Southwest Vista

16" x 20" Oil, $600

I often comment on what a joy making art is for me.

Now, not always! Yesterday I painted for several hours,

and am not happy with anything from that whole session.

But this one...I love it and I loved creating it.

It evolved from a painting that looked nothing like this 

finished product.

There are many layers of traditional oil paint 

as well as many layers of pure pigment oil paint.

It must go to a good home.

Contemporary Landscape, "Road Trip," by Amy Whitehouse

20" x 24" Oil, $500

Inspired by my recent journey across country,

this expressionistic painting emerged when I arrived home.

I painted this in pure pigment oil paint 

which gives it the intense vibrancy.

Leaving paint strokes adds life and immediacy

to the artwork.
