Artwork Description:
Carrying two paintings to Artichoke Jewelers here in downtown Asheville, North Carolina, I noticed Emily, dressed for work at Old Europe Coffee Shop, sitting outside of the New French Bar, before it became the Flying Frog Cafe, in a pose that reminded me of that of Diana, in Bouchers 1742 painting, DIANA AT THE BATH. She waved. How did I keep on carrying those mere paintings Within the week I produced this small painting of her, or, rather, of her pose - for this is not a portrait. I did not capture Emilys sweet and gentle beauty nor the melody of her laughter. I added some trees to balance the composition and was rather surprised that a figure appeared, to which I added only a touch of very small details t bring to life. Seems like, somedays, I encounter muses. Look, trust, they are here.
