Blind Date

The way to a man's heart . . . As in the painting below, there is the desire to connect, yet the fear of intimacy.

Cup of Coffee, 2007, oil on canvas, 11" x 14"  $500

Sisterhood

The paired females show up in Emily's paintings now and again. There is an affection and gentleness between them, in spite of the obvious estrangement.

The Boudoir

Emily loves stage props, which occasionally become characters in their own right.

Accompaniment

The ubiquitous curtain plays a new role, hiding the head of the female character. Earlier in the 11x14 Series, as in the painting below, the hiding was accomplished by simply removing the head - not in a violent way, but rather quietly and peacefully.

The Hairdresser

What can I say - Emily likes bald heads.

Reflection

Emily's fascination with flat, graphic patterns raises havoc with the space in her paintings. Compare with an earlier painting below, and note the variation on the curtain device.

Robot With Green Ball

More in the 11x14 Series: a rare solo performance by a male character. This brings to mind a comment in Emily's current Artist's Statement about the robots in her work: they tend to appear in my narratives as emotionally fragile, yet happy to be alive, as it were.

Stage of Indecision, 2007, oil on canvas, 20" x 16"  $750

The Nap

Emily had no idea how similar these paintings were until I pointed it out to her. The dreaming male character from the earlier painting below has become the napping robot.
