Emotional Man in The Rain, oil on board, 16 by 12 in. Emilia Kallock 2016
This painting is about breaking up, and the heartache felt with departure from a relationship. It’s a painting of my x, but it’s also a self portrait in a way. It’s a figure crying in the rain, broken as to why two people can’t stay together- I chose pastel and bright colors, turquoise, pinks, peaches and yellows because despite the loss of what was, I can still remember the breathtaking beauty of the times spent together. Those colors usually only surface in those types of works.

Boy, Dog, Skateboard on University Ave, Seattle, watercolor on paper, 20 by 15 in. Emilia Kallock 2015
Earlier this week I passed this boy and his dog sleeping on the street in the University District, Seattle and snapped a quick picture, which I worked off of hoping to capture with washed vagueness the bright autumn day and long shadows.
This portrait was done live with my portable watercolor backpacking materials and Matt, the sitter and I both sat on a boulder at end of a long hike to Lake Dorothy in the Washington Cascade Mountains. It took about 15-20 min.
