Two Sketches: Woman in a Tiara and Profile of a Woman

Woman in a Tiara
(c) Sarah Myers 2020
Pen on paper

     A golden tiara – resembling the diadems of Ancient Greece - ornaments the head of the lady in this first sketch.  The next drawing shows a lady with spiraling, fly-away curls and a light necklace of pearls trailing along her neck as she turns in profile.

   These two drawings are part of my special “sketchbook series”.  Their clear lines, a black pen following across a light sketch in pencil, make the portraits of women you will see from this procession of pictures; ladies with lively or tranquil faces, fashionable hairstyles and hats, and a sense of poise or grace.  It is a daily story, told with a pen and very occasionally with a line of charcoal; please enjoy the visual words that create their identities and expressions.

The Sunbeam - Poetry by Sarah Myers

Sunlight
Photography (c) Sarah Myers 2019

A droplet from the fountain of the Sun
Rolled through my window to my floor today;
I saw it melt like molten sugar, run,
And flow together, laughing as it lay.

I touched it, barely, with an outstretched toe;
It climbed my foot, and like a tiny bird
Sat perched with golden feathers all aglow
To sing the sweetest silence.  And I heard.

 Here are seven images - the centers of roses, each holding their own small world of grace and gentleness.

The Clouds - Photography by Sarah Myers

The Many Clouds
Photography, Sarah Myers

 While the earth of the desert twinkles monotonously and changelessly mile after mile, with gravel and the dark network of dry creosote bushes, the sky stretches over it a reign of overwhelming, unshakable but temperamental power. And on those days when into the intense and endless blue sail the giants of the sky - the desert thunderheads - it is as if a mighty, unknown world has opened out above, with its own language of wind, light and space. We small strangers peer upward into the next sphere...

On a walk in the desert rose garden tended by Amy Myers I found this exquisite cluster.

The Birthday Bouquet Flies

The Birthday Bouquet Flies

With blooms of roses and myrtle from her garden, my sister created this bouquet for my birthday.  In my favorite picture above, an ethereal crystal vase filled with flowers flies through the air.
