Amy Whichelow Art

It's wedding season 🎊🥂 so here's a little midweek throwback to a woodslice I painted for 2 friends who tied the knot last year 🥰 I just love the contrast of the black against the orange!

❤🌎 Fathers Day 🌎❤

Fathers day is next month! So I've been working on some magnets for the special Dads and Daddies our lives 😍
Full range will be ready to share with you soon 😍 or drop me a DM in the meantime if you'd like more details.

Most importantly... hope you have a lovely Wednesday 💕💕

It's a journey... 🎨💕⛅

I've been on a real journey in my mind over the last week about what direction to take my art in. I'm so excited to have a clearer idea now of where I'm heading (or at least where I hope I'm heading!).

I've got an upcoming stallholder event that I'm in the process of building up painted wood slice stock for! However following this I'm excited to start work on a series of larger art pieces 😍❤ and I can't wait to share more with you along the way!

Here's a little behind the scenes of a recent floral woodslice I painted ❤

Happy Hump Day xx

Love Always Wins 💖

Oh hello Friday, how nice to see you!!

Who's excited for another bank holiday? 🤩

Today I'm working on a big restock and photographing lots of my latest work ready for sharing with you and reopening my shop (happening v. soon!).

Included in the restock will be the return of these end of term Thank You teacher gifts that were super popular last year 😍 now with wooden bookmarks😍

I better get back to my painting!
Have a lovely day and weekend everyone 😘 x

Oh heeey! How have you been?! I'm super pleased to be back on here and to have my art stuff out again!

I'll be honest, I really needed the break when I packed my art bits up in December. I'd been burning the candle at both ends for a little too long and it was definitely good to take a little time away from late nights painting (even if it was replaced with late nights watching Bridgerton 🙈).

But!! I'm feeling super refreshed and excited to be back at my art table (aka the living room table I've stolen once again)!

And how gorgeous has the sunshine been these past few days?
I'm definitely feeling inspired to work on some sunny / floral pieces!

Hope you are having a lovely Tuesday x

Hellooo! Uhh I'm sorry to have been so quiet. Its been such a busy couple of weeks, topped off with a visitor for Christmas.... Covid 😭
Yep, sadly its Christmas in isolation for us but thankfully symptoms have been relatively mild. (EDIT: My PCR came back negative much to my surprise so looks like the booster has done its job. New isolation rule changes mean we will be able to enjoy a nice family walk and visit to the Christmas lights on Christmas eve as Ashley's isolation will end earlier now! Hurrah!!!!! What a roller coaster 🤣)

I wanted to share with you my decision to take an extended break from Amy Whichelow Art.
Life with a 4 and 2 year old is well, chaotic to say the least 🤣, so I've made the decision to take some time away from late nights painting to focus on other things for a little while.

I absolutely love the business I've built up over the last year and the people that have made it possible. That's you by the way! Your support has meant the WORLD. Thank you to everyone of you who has ordered, encouraged, liked, commented, shared. It's been so amazing.

I hope to be back "online" Springtime next year and in the meantime want to wish you all a really wonderful Christmas and a healthy new year.

Lots of love # # #

Happy St Nicholas Day! And day 6 of the Christmas countdown!

Fact for you... Traditionally, in parts of Europe, children leave shoes out on St Nicholas day for him to put small gifts inside!

When I was little we used to put our letters to Father Christmas in our shoes on our doorstep and the next day we would wake to find the letters gone and shoes full of sweets!! Such magic memories!

I'm going to be showing you more of these painted round canvases later this week 😍 but for now, Happy St Nic day! Will you be leaving shoes out?

Christmas Countdown DAY 3! I know I say it every year but I cannot believe we are into December already. Is anyone else wondering where the year has gone?!

The year may have gone by quickly but I can't believe the journey I've come on with my art over the last 12 months! I started Amy Whichelow Art up back in November 2020 with a few wood slices and a whole load of nerves!! To end November 2021 with my first art exhibition felt fantastic!! I've met some wonderful people over the year, both fellow artists/makers and lovely customers. Thank you so much to everyone for your support and encouragement, I couldn't have done any of it without you 😘🥰

Here's a few snaps from the exhibition 😍 I couldn't have hoped for a better group of people to be doing with! Such talented and lovely people!

Happy Friday everyone ❤❤❤

Christmas Countdown DAY 2! Any other adults out there who still love a chocolate advent calendar?! 😄🤩

Thought I'd do a Thursday throwback today to this little chap who I painted earlier this year as a commission for a friend to give a friend!
I wouldn't mind wrapping up warm and standing where he is right now to admire that view!

The tree is up! 🥰🤩🎄
