Myrtle Jones (Savannah, 1913-2005), House, Pen on Paper, signed lower right, depicting a house at night, matted and frame. Frame size: 20 3/8 in. x 21 in.Myrtle Jones was an artist whose paintings commonly featured streetscapes and architecture of Savannah, Georgia, as well as portraits. 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. Jones was a prolific painter, possibly creating thousands of works within her lifetime. Selected exhibitions: Women Artists in Savannah, Telfair Academy; Exposed!
