Hello!
Oh my word. You guys. Thank you all for your incredibly kind, supportive, and excited comments, tweets, emails, facebook posts, text messages, instagram comments in relation to yesterday’s blog post… I probably got 100 kind messages and each and every one of them means SO much to me. You all are fantastic.
The first of several painting-a-day landscapes is complete and is now in my shop!
“Sundown” 16×20 oil on canvas ($100)
If you would like to arrange a time to pick up your painting at my studio in Greenville, SC just use “EJStudio” to get free shipping
This is a beautiful, lush oil landscape painting full of quietness and depth. I love the still that comes over the world at dusk. The balance between light and dark is so delicate and powerful.
I spent yesterday in my studio with my little girls, just painting away (they paint in watercolor – not oil) and I felt more at peace then I have in a while. Partly because I really love oil painting and completely enjoyed the process, and partly because I just know that God is going to make everything fall into place just the way he wants it to.
Thank you all for your huge support! I would never be the artist that I am today without your love, support, and encouragement. Really. We may never know the full impact of a kind word, but I do know that you mean the world to me!

When my children participate in the calm that is created when I paint I take it as a blessing…they know they will have a ‘better’ mom if they share this moment with me! I can imagine the serenity having your girls with you as you share in the creative moment… It comes through in your work…I also prefer oil, I love the concentration and devotion it requires of me, though I am nowhere near a refined a style as you have achieved, I can’t paint daily but I am working on it 🙂 Emily, Would you consider being my next feature on the DISCOVER series in my blog? I think you would be my first oil painter, I’ve focused mainly on watercolourists… Thank you, Alexandra

Thank you for your kind words. It’s true, art certainly makes me a better person. I think that’s true for everyone though – doing what you love to do is as important as breathing at certain times in your life. And I am SO happy I get to do this “job” with my kids. That’s a huge blessing that I tend to forget about. 😉
I would be honored to be featured on your blog! Thanks so much for thinking of me! emily @ beautifulhelloblog.com if you need more info or anyhting.
