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.
