I was delighted to discover Emma Cownie's art. Much of it conveys to me a very distinctive style which breaks down the complexity of everyday life scenes into the essentials of tone, texture and especially shadow. At one level her paintings seem almost simplistic yet they require keen observation of the essentials of a scene and its translation onto the canvas. The painting I bought (The Yellow House) spoke to me of the Art Deco style often seen in posters of the period. I believe Emma terms this 'urban minimalism'. Some of her other paintings of people are largely in shades and highlights and suggest a keen sense of observation. I find the results very pleasing and relaxing. At the time I purchased this painting I exchanged messages with Emma and was delighted that she chose to reply on several occasions.

I love Emma Cownie's work whether it is of people, places and animals. All have a distinctive feel and there is always more to them than initially meets the eye. I'm looking forward to enjoying the paintings for a long long time to come.

This is a painting of a place I have walked to many times in my life and an area that I hold in my heart When I was young with my mum and dad and later with my wife and son.Over the years I have loved visiting the Gower. Not only is this a very lovely picture to look at and enjoy but it also captures the essence of the place I love the way Emma keeps her work deceptively simple yet in a more complex way manages to capture the taste of the place I will definitely be buying another work from her Thanks Emma

The two paintings have arrived and each is an absolute joy. That is what you have painted......joy! I love the way you have used white in the compositions. It grabs the light in our room. I also love your strong yet gentle lines and shadows. The subjects leave me feeling light hearted. You paint real situations in such a way that the viewer is instantly engaged. There is a wonderful feeling tone in your work. Thank you for your clever skill in selecting subjects. You identify the small pieces of life that are the true textures of everyday living. I truly love what you portray. Wendy in Carmel, Indiana
