I did this piece very quickly, and didn't really like it at the time, but there is something about the color combination and the hasty application of the paint that is growing on me.

I decided to revisit this shell from a different angle. I really love how the red shadow pushes the blue of the shell forward.

Exactly two years ago today, I created my first daily painting of this same shell, which I happened to pull out of a shoe box a few days ago. Since that first painting, I have created some 380 paintings, had close to 20 shows, moved my studio out of my home and into my downtown space, launched my website, and quit my full time job to focus all my time on painting. I have to say it has been a heck of a couple of years!

Be sure to mark your calenders for my anniversary show, Two:Another Year of Painting, on Feb. 20 at the Art & Light Gallery in West Greenville. Music will be provided by Travelers Rest resident, Stephanie Fagan, and you will have the chance to win your very own Emily Clarke original! It promises to be a great night.

Thanks again to everyone who has supported me over the past two years. And now, on to year three!

It is interesting how, from some angles these twisted paint tubes become almost abstract. Were it not for the cap on top, I don't think this item would be recognizable. It does make studying and painting them that much more interesting and challenging.

Apple, In Progress

I was eating an apple during lunch today, and every so often, I would pause in my eating to sketch out what the apple looked like. I so loved the page in my sketchbook, that I had to post it.



Also, my first painting from this page of sketches. Expect to see several more of these.

This is an old key on my mom's key chain. As I currently have her car, I also have her keys. So, this key made it into one of my paintings!

"Long Shadows"

It might have been cold today, but the sun was also very bright. It made for some very intense brights and shadows around everything on the easel.

"Controlled by Time"

Oil on Mat board
$65

To purchase, email me with the title in the subject line.

My day is measured out in two hour increments. That is partially because I can paint for that long before my mind starts to wander and I need a break. But, it is mainly because two hours is the longest I can leave my car in one parking spot downtown without getting a ticket! So, I spend much of the day checking my watch, which inspired me to do this piece.

"Turned Inward"

Apparently I squeezed and folded this little paint tube so much, in order to get every drop of paint out of it, that all that remains is a tiny crumpled shell and some green paint stains.

"Waiting to Steep"

This is my favorite mug, which a friend of mine made. Several evenings ago, while waiting for my nightly cup of tea to steep, I drew a picture of it sitting there steaming.

As I was painting this piece, I realized that I give these little paint tubes personalities in my mind. Odd, I admit, but it made for a fun composition.

I don't know why I keep coming back to these paint tubes, but they are just so much fun to paint. Expect to see several more!
