A small post – a photographic still-life with a sculpture in terracotta, a pot filled with garden flowers, and a few books on an antique gilded table. The ceramic pot is hand-built by my sister Amy Myers, and is in the same red earthenware as my figure of a woman with windblown cloak.

Figure: Ocean    S. Myers, Acrylic on Canvas  2013

     My newest painting began with inspiration from Baroque maps, where figures personifying seasons, continents, and oceans stand on either side or recline at the bottom, ornamenting already elaborate and fantastic charts.

      But I was also looking at pictures of Brazilian interiors.  And I was full of the colors and enchanting vistas of Raoul Dufy. So as I spread the brilliant blue, the brown, and the mica/iron gold paint on the canvas, I resolved, not to hold to a single influence, simply to create something that would show very well on a wall.
