Drawing of a Horse - Art by Sarah Myers

Drawing of a Horse, Sarah Myers
Charcoal on paper

   Minimal lines depict the expressive head of a horse, eyes watching intently, one ear tilted back to listen. The curl of the large nostril, the strong neck and chest, the fall of the mane, control the firm course of the charcoal as it stretches across the page.

Horse on Silver - Painting by Sarah Myers

Horse on Silver, Sarah Myers

A horse - alert glance and backward tilted ears showing its liveliness - arches its neck, looming against a background of reflective silver. This is a large canvas and makes a very strong impact on the wall. It was painted in acrylic and metallic acrylic.

Vase with a Rearing Horse - Art by Sarah Myers

Terracotta Vase with Horse, Sarah Myers

A rearing horse forms the forward part of this small vase in red earthenware.  Light-heartedly in the spirit of ancient art such as the old Persian rhytons, the container was created as a present for my sister.  I have placed a cluster of brilliant flowers - nasturtiums, geraniums (pelargoniums) and a coral-coloured rose - into its wide mouth.  This burst of scarlet, salmon, flame orange and deep yellow glows with intensity in the morning sunlight, matching the strong, natural red of the clay and the energy of the pawing, snorting horse.
