The Green Flower - Painting by Sarah Myers

The Green Flower, Sarah Myers
Acrylic on canvas, 2019

She glances downward gently, lips smiling at some pleasant, quiet thought.  Long, simple lines form the shapes, head elegantly poised on the neck with its graceful curve.  At the top, a little burst of acid-green marks the bloom she wears pinned in her hair, a bright hue which stops and accentuates the lengthy contours creating the rest of the image.  She is surrounded by a warm atmosphere of rose-pink and vibrant orange bordering on brown.  Behind her, blue shades toward the realm of purple and lilac.  Acrylic on canvas, 2019.

Lady with a Crystal Vase - Minimal Drawing by Sarah Myers

Lady with a Crystal Vase, Sarah Myers
Minimal drawing in charcoal

      This sketch is of a lady delicately poising a crystal vase in her hand – the single, top-heavy bloom leans toward her as she glances away. The ornate trim of her dress matches her dangling earrings, and all of the detail makes the drawing, perhaps, not quite minimal; but still, every part, from pearls in hair to the curve of fingers, is described by black lines that touch the paper sparely and simply. And we wait for her to look up out of the page, in our direction...

Dancer with Flowers - Sculpture by Sarah Myers

Dancer for flowers, Sarah Myers

My new sculpture holds overflowing flowers in her hands and on her head. Made in stoneware for just these kinds of bouquets, she glances up at the blooms above her with a happy expression and sways lightly as if beginning to dance with the flowers.

Arrangement and photography by the artist.

Roses and Rainstorm - Photography by Sarah Myers

Roses After Rainstorm, Sarah Myers

A moment after the last glittering rain has fallen, rose blooms sway against the sky, drinking the cool air and the bright water. It is a glimpse of a gentle magnificence, refreshing the mind...

Nature Inspires - Amaryllis, Photography by Sarah Myers

Amaryllis
Nature Photography by Sarah Myers

   I am intrigued with the majesty of these tall Amaryllis blooms, the way their grand form combines with such fresh, cheerful colours of red, white, and apple-green - or we should say, Amaryllis green, for it too is unique and irreplacable...  A towering crown of flowers swaying against the clean blue sky.
