Paintings by Emily L. Joseph

Painting can be tedious and exhausting when searching and executing your thoughts, ideas, and emotions. Sometimes an intimate encounter can breathe life into you and colors appear in groups proclaiming a unique liberation. The moment of intimacy with one, can breathe into your soul a stillness that opens to clarity. Eyes wide open. The use of color indicates movement, the fine lines reflect past scars. The emerging white over dark lifts the soul. The bright colors emphasize the individual sensations one might feel, even if it is just peace and lying still.
