Emily Oster
I think I might have a thing for artists who share my name - Emily Jeffords, Emily Gherard, Emily Fischer and most recently - Emily Leonard. Emily Leonard is a Tennessee based painter who uses a layering process to "break down an image and build it back slowly with hundreds of washy glazes and gestures". The effect is experiential conveying a distinct sense of place and time. Below are a few favorites.
Emily Leonard - Hydrangea - 10" x 13" - gold paint and ink on panel
Emily Leonard - What You Whispered - 60" x 86" - diptych, oil on panel - 2005
Emily Leonard - I Woke Up and Loved You - diptych, oil on panel - 2008
Emily Leonard - Expecting Marie - 11" x 15" - mixed media on paper - 2009
Emily Leonard - Natalie In Her Front Yard - 36" x 34" - oil on canvas - 2014
