Emma Skurnick "Wiley" 10-2-12

 “Wiley”
Emma Skurnick
Acrylic on Calico Cloth
26" x 26"
$500, Original Painting

Emma painted "Wiley" directly on calico cloth.  She explained that she was playing with the concept of domesticated vs. wild.  Goats, remaining wild even in domestication, span the bridge that divides these dynamics.  Calico, with it's homespun country feel, represents domestic.  In this large original painting Wiley practically comes out of the scene.  You smile and share the goat's delight as well as being able to clearly see the sweet print on the calico.  Of course there is nothing quite like an Emma Skurnick original painting whether on cloth or canvas, but she has also made prints for those of us not yet ready to own an original.
