The Quiet Room 11"x14"x2" Acrylic and paper on canvas
I think I mentioned the other day that I've got some new paintings in the works. This one is what I've been working on for the last couple of days. Those of you hawk-eyed applets might notice a certain other beloved image in the background.
I hope everyone's Tuesdays are chugging right along! Hopefully I'll have more new pieces to show you in the next week.

Paintings within the painting, I love this one.

The growing complexity in your work is really interesting and beautiful!

What a gorgeous picture, and I have been dreaming about putting a couch that Anthropologie has just like that in my sewing room!
Chloe · August 14, 2007 at 05:22 PM
I LOVE it! And I have a print of the painting in the background - just bought the frame last night! How fun to see it in this painting!

So lovely! And yay for having hawk eyes (thanks be to my four eyes...)! *B
Beth · August 14, 2007 at 11:49 PM
Oh that's really lovely!
And I'm sooo psyched, I can actually post on your blog. Normally I'm in Thailand and for some reason I can't post comments to ANY typepad blog from there (thank god I don't have MY blog with them :) and typepad can't figure out why?
I'm currently in Malaysia on vacation which means I can post comments for two whole days! ;-)
Love your work Emily!
Michelle · August 15, 2007 at 02:50 AM
Just beautiful. I love the depth, the mood and the mystique of repeating an artwork within another. Lovely.
Linda · August 15, 2007 at 04:06 AM
it's beautiful as usually but why she is so sad??
mikanaa · August 15, 2007 at 04:40 AM
OMG! I have a couch just like that but in pink! You captured everything so perfectly! My hat comes off for you. Keep it up!
Big hug, Alice
Alice · August 15, 2007 at 07:23 AM

Dear One,
I've been following your blog for a few months now. This is my first time sending in a post.
Your paintings are delightful. But it's your wonderful writing that keeps me coming back for more. Have you thought about writing an illustrated book? This new painting is outstanding. Rich with untold stories. I look forward to seeing (and reading) more.
Sending warm thoughts your way...
Laura
Laura Tyler · August 15, 2007 at 11:40 AM
P.S. Love how the pose of the girl in the paintings matches your pose in your new photo. Really great.

simply beautiful!

lori marie · August 15, 2007 at 11:47 AM
I'm in love with this--and praying that I'll be able to buy this when it's on Etsy... I saw that couch in anthropologie the other day and it was on sale for $499 (!) with a big sold tag next to it. I'd rather have this painting though. It is my favorite of all your work so far.
Moya · August 15, 2007 at 12:08 PM
So beautiful!
Diane Duda · August 15, 2007 at 01:21 PM
Your pieces are getting more and more elaborate in the backgrounds, I love it! It is so great to see you continuing to grow as an artist.
Marilyn · August 15, 2007 at 02:17 PM
That has to be my favorite piece of yours yet. LOVE it.
chancy · August 15, 2007 at 04:05 PM

me loves it...can't wait to snag one on Etsy...I've just bought an oval frame and am having a mat cut for Greta and look forward to hanging her in my living room soon...
donner · August 15, 2007 at 08:19 PM
I hope you feel better today. Your new paintings are really really wonderful! Wow!
Sonya · August 15, 2007 at 08:52 PM
Oh my. Usually your new paintings make me squeal (inwardly if I'm at work), This one takes my breath away. I know you've got your own way of doing things (an exciting and fun way) but... I have an 'I need it' feeling and your shop updates are 4 in the morning here! Please consider doing a decent sized run or maybe some preorders..?
Meryl · August 16, 2007 at 02:47 AM
super stunning!
Little Stitcher · August 16, 2007 at 10:32 AM
Ok, ok, I have to use it: OMG!!
This is fantastic!
Claire · August 16, 2007 at 06:13 PM
I am glad to have found this. It is hauntingly beautiful! Is it on etsy too?
Kim · August 16, 2007 at 08:12 PM
I love it! When will prints be available on Etsy? I looked, but didn't find it.... I've got to have it!
Julie · August 21, 2007 at 04:36 PM
Just discovered your work (and you) this morning through another blog. I am so in love with this one. Is is available for sale? Or will you make (large) prints? Gorgeous work. Loulou
loulou · August 22, 2007 at 06:37 AM
Belo e feminino!
Parabéns!
Géssica Hellmann · August 26, 2007 at 08:34 AM
so Pretty miss Emily!
I'm taking a break from work, and thought I'd catch up on some Emily! You've been so busy.
Maybe even busy with a z... somehow Buzy seems more urgent.
haha
