Featured in the book A Savannah Experience, by Myrtle Jones, this large pastel painting is one of the artist's finest paintings. Acrylic on canvas with gold giltwood frame.
"Myrtle Jones, January 23, 1913 – February 15, 2005, was an artist whose paintings commonly featured streetscapes and architecture of Savannah.
Jones was born in Winder, Forsyth County, Georgia and moved to Savannah in 1943. Jones formally took up painting in 1950 when she studied at the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences. Despite this training she has been identified as a self-taught artist.
Jones' work is considered distinct for its balance of modern and representational approaches. During the 1950s and early 1960s, she utilized strong colors, brushstrokes and lines in her portraits, which Jones referred to as her dark and bold period. Her later works gravitated towards light colors to create a faded effect. Throughout her career Jones depicted everyday life in Savannah, through subjects including urban streetscapes, buildings, landscapes, and portraits of locals."
