Two Sketches: In the Breeze and In the Sun

 

Profile, Breeze

    What if we were surrounded by a beautiful, refreshing breeze?  Or what if we were sitting out in the bright sun, with a jaunty hat?

   Two different kinds of weather, but both being enjoyed by the two people in these drawings.  The first woman is shutting her eyes in the onrush of wind; she shows us a tranquil profile as she leans forward and the air whips a few loose strands of hair over her forehead.  The second lady, gazing at us with a smile, is clearly suited up for the a sunny day at the seaside; we can see the cheerful pattern of her sundress and its little tie at the back of her neck, not to mention that clever hat...

    These 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 peaceful 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.

Two Sketches: Ladies, Flowers and Changing Seasons

Lady with Daffodils

    Two drawings with flowers; one, a lady holding a lavish bouquet of daffodils, and then – a picture of changing seasons, appropriate for the onset of colder days.  This second image shows a woman with hair streaming back; the flowers of summertime float away as the snow rushes toward her eager face.

   These two artworks 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.

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...

The Evening Cloud - Photography by Sarah Myers

Tumult
Sarah Myers, Photography

    One immense cloud-bank spread its towers across the South-eastern sky as the sun went down opposite. Scaling the clear, empty desert night, the cresent moon looked backward at these monarchs of water and air, who took the form of a fantastical surf, a radiant bastion of remaining day, a crowd of staring faces, an ethereal fog of cold blue and pearl-pink. At last the clouds disappeared in the rising night, save for an occasional, sullen flash of lightening.  The moon continued on its way, growing brighter and lonelier and stronger. But the night remains only in the imagination, while the clouds and the last of the sun left their glory, in some small way, in this collection of pictures.

      Except for cropping and my signature, there is no edit on these pictures. They are what the camera saw.

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...
