Myra Roberts: Retro
Images From The Florida Coast is a collection of vintage-style oil
paintings by critically acclaimed Sanibel Island artist, Myra Roberts.
The limited edition hard cover introduces her stunning new paintings of
famous personalities who came to Sanibel & Captiva, such as Anne Morrow
Linbergh, J.N. "Ding" Darling and
Thomas Edison. Roberts' 1920s to 1950s-style art portrays the things
people love about Florida: palm-fringed beaches, blue-green water, sea
turtles, bathing beauties, and other tropical scenes. Roberts' art is on
display in private and public collections across the United States and
Europe, including the private museum of Robert Rauschenberg. She moved
to Sanibel in 2000 from the Chicago area with her husband, Wes, and
children Bette and David. The book includes an introductory biographical
sketch of Roberts and commentary on her paintings by Brian Johnson,
author of Sanibel Island bestseller Amazing Animal Stories From CROW.
