'and sometimes a bow'

6x8 charcoal and watercolor on watercolor paper

by myra anderson

This painting is experimental.  Here I wanted the piece to be figurative - but I also wanted it to be about color.  I wanted color to be the key element without adding color to the whole painting.

There are at least 8 elements of myra art that I want to work on this summer.  I want to list them so that I will be sure to vary what I am doing. 
1.  chairs (esp. a blue chair in a green room)
2.  'elegant' chairs
3.  ladies sitting in chairs
4.  'and sometimes a bow'
5.  butterfly bows
6.  dress mannequins, dresses as still life, dresses hanging on a clothesline
7.  a great pair of legs
8.  shoes
