Princess Fish by Amy Crook
This tiny oil painting is perfect for a little niche. When I first found these wee little canvases with their accompanying easels, I was so excited to start painting right away that I painted up several backgrounds, and then let them sit for a while. While I was googling I found a photo of this colorful tropical fish, and then once she was painted, she demanded a crown to let everyone know she was the Princess of her little school of fish.
The edges of this little canvas are finished, the image wrapping around to the sides to add a little dimensions to this tiny bit of undersea paradise. The crown is painted in metallic gold, and there’s a touch of pearlescent white in the shining water and on her shimmery skin, just to add a little sparkle.
Princess Fish, 2.75″x2.75″ oil on canvas, 5″ tall easel, sold.

Into by Amy Crook
This is another monoprint, like Gate, that’s a one-of-a-kind piece. This one always reminded me of looking down into something and seeing light reflected back, or perhaps looking up out of where you are toward the brighter blue.
I like the way the brush texture was preserved by the printing process, but softened as the water-based inks soaked into the wet paper. The random elements of printing this way always appealed to me, putting paper and plate through the printing press to see what came out the other side.
