Still-Life with Two Water-pots, Sarah Myers
Acrylic on canvas |
My newest painting
is a still-life with two water-pots - one holding small date-palm fronds – and between them a cluster of rich red grapes. The
larger of the two vessels is a majolica piece decorated in happy,
bright patterns; the smaller, with its dignified stance and deep
terracotta colour, is pottery created by my sister Amy. Overhead,
the sharp, fragile leaves of the palm reach out to embrace the whole
– the two jars, a white wall, and the fruit tumbling forward toward
us.
