"There sat Aunt Emily (103) by the window in her favorite chair, like a queen on her throne... her royal cape over her shoulders... the delicate light of dawn dancing over her face. We felt as though we were in the presence of a queen; when she spoke her stories spilled out like music in a song. She told us of days long past."

"A place where beauty abounds, where innocence and wisdom are mixed like good cornmeal. A place where a window to the past still exists. L'il Fannie was born from a long line of mountain people. She shares the shyness and fierce pride of her forefathers. In a few isolated hills and hollows of east Tennessee, the window is still open."

Her big beautiful eyes bring you into her world. Paul’s intimate and powerful talent brings you so close to her, you could almost know what she is thinking and what she is doing or what is in her world. She lives in coal mining country deep in the woods of the Appalachian Mountains; the only girl in a long row of boys. She will break the tradition of five generations of coal miners. She’ll not be going down below with that deadly black dust.

These are the few remaining images of Paul's special friendship with a centuries old pioneer family. Paul was one of a few invited into the inner sanctum of Joey's rustic life; spent together with siblings. There was a wisdom and yet an innocence, a cherished bond between them, their animals and God. Their every day a happy one; no matter what trials came their way. Enjoy this painting that took many years to come to fruition. The washes shown at the bottom are what starts the painting, the pencil sketch of the hands and the slow build up of layers. The layers or "glazing" of many different colors show the painstaking effort to create each color. There is much suffering by Paul to capture the soul and essence of Joey. Look up close to the overalls unfinished at the bottom. There is red, brown and purple stripes under the final blue we see. From reading books as a child, these techniques were all learned by Paul Murray, from the 16th century masters...Enjoy this painting in your home....it'll feel like your hiding an artist in the backroom and he's working on it just for you.

Paul felt a great peace in her heart and a pure wonder of the world and simple things. Zoé stole his heart away and so it began, a whole series of just things she happened to do. Paul's strength is in capturing the moment and the intense peaceful soul of a child.

A child’s prayer: " God pray for Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa and I hope the whole world is happy and safe." Does she have a greater connection to God? Some think so. If she knew a friend that wasn’t well, she would pray, "Please make her better so she can play with me." Life seems so simple at this age, is it? Could prayer, and each of us looking out for each other, bring happiness, wellness..... Do the children of our world have the idea if each of us prayed, or helped each other a little more, just maybe we could make the connection and make a difference in the life of someone who really needs it.

"Such innocence, Zoé had never heard a frog before. She is intensely looking for where that arrrrubit' sound came from. Did she go catching frogs after with her Aunt? Or did she just keep playing dress up and lookin' pretty?"
Hi
I absolutely LOVE this picture, I saw a similar one, or maybe it was this one, at a Buckhorn Art Show a number of years ago, and I have always regretted not buying it. Do you sell this picture anywhere in the Peterborough, Ontario area?
Thank you for your time.
Warmest regards

Hey Jan,
Is it the last drawing of Shoe Strings pencil original Giclee you like? they are rare as only 125 published.
Can I help you out with one? We only have these ourselves due to the fact that it has original drawing in it. It is damaged too easy if it is outside of a frame. There is original chalk pastel that smudges with any suttle touch. I’m sure we can work something out. There isn’t alot to be had ya know, don’t take too much more time, to treat yourself. Call me at 1-800-567-3220
I was gifted a Aunt Emily pencil sketch. This pic is in pencil and has many faces of her in the pic. Purchased in 1995 I have not been able to locate a picture of her on your site. You do have many pictures of her but none of the one i own, could you please send me some information about this wonderful piece of art i am proud to now call mine.

Yes Aunt Emily is on our website
here is some of what I found when I typed “Aunt Emily” in the search field

There sat Aunt Emily (103) by the window in her favorite chair, like a queen on her throne… her royal cape over her shoulders.. the delicate light of dawn dancing over her face. “…her all knowing glimmer …the secrets she holds…her forever majesty!” We felt as though we were in the presence of a queen; when she spoke her stories spilled out like music in a song. She told us of days long past. Still, we were awed by the strength of her presence. After a while, we said good-bye unknowingly for the last time. Emily died short while later. Another legend lost.” PM
