Original artwork description:

This busker is a well known sight in Stroud, in the Cotswolds, England. I was taken by his bright, colourful clothing and his carefree enjoyment in his busking.
Then I discovered that his name was Clover so I titled the painting "In Clover" as it covers his name and the fact he seemed "in clover" meaning to live a carefree life of ease.
Perhaps we do not need to be in clover, materially or in terms of money or prosperity, to be at ease - we can also achieve this by being at ease, in doing the things we enjoy.


"Emma's paintings paintings are lively and capture the fleeting moments of day and night in the Swansea streets. A very strong visual impact is derived from bold blocks of colours and an expressive palette that is widely used in modern art and pop art. The cinematic compositions and dramatic use of light and dark in her artworks, particularly in those night scenes where I observe some tranquility and alienation in a busy city, almost draw a subtle connection to the pieces of Edward Hopper.

Her depiction of pedestrians and streets of Swansea in rain creates an enigmatic atmosphere which tempts the viewers for more.
I particularly like the figurative works which I think capture the everyday nuances of normal people going about their daily life"
