Blossoms of Change Quartet
by Cassandra Barney

“These paintings are about progression,” says Cassandra Barney, “about moving into something different and evolving. Life is full of these moments of change, and the figures in these paintings are striving for something.The quartet is about committing to an action rather than expecting an answer.”

Like the beautiful blossoms surrounding the figures, each painting is different—in fact, the four pieces had originally been intended for separate sale, but when Barney hung the paintings for a recent gallery show, she was amazed at how perfectly they worked together. “I realized that I was exploring some very similar themes as I painted these,” she says,“themes that I think a lot of women—and a lot of men, for that matter—can relate to: sacrifice, growth and striving to be the best possible person you can be.” Rather than the traditional blessings of poetry, dance or music, these extraordinary, elegant muses inspire us to grow, to change and to never give up.

One If by Land
by Emily McPhie

There are few sureties in this life, it is said, but one of them is that every little girl will someday grow up. From her first tooth to her first date, the milestones in every child’s life seem to come more quickly with each passing day. Every parent can remember the first time they took the training wheels off their child’s bicycle and watched their little one ride away, feeling a mixture of pride and apprehension.

The beautiful autumn scene in Emily McPhie’s newest Fine Art Limited Edition One If by Land tells such a story. Fall has come to the path through the park and as the little girl rides by, the heavy leaves fall from their trees. It is a time of change, a time of remembering the treasures of the past and of looking forward to the future.

Emily McPhie’s dreamy paintings are touched with the tenderness of young motherhood. Her portraits of women and children convey universal messages of love, determination and hope.
