The Witch Of Positano -vali Myers Animals by Lynne Bertalli

Features

ARTIST NOTES: Vali Myers was a unique spirit who lived the most extraordinary life. She was an Artist, dancer, muse, animal lover and a powerful creative who inspired so many famous artists in her life time. Vali lived in many counties in her life time including a valley near Positano with her partner and her many beloved animals. She wrote in her diary; “Let it be all animal, my life and death, hard & clean like that, anything but human….a lot I care, me with my red heart in the dark earth and my tattooed feet following the animal ways. “ Vali captured my imagination because of her love of animals, her visual appearance, her writing and her chosen way of life. I was totally inspired to paint her and her beloved Foxy, Jonny the Owl and Winnie the Tortoise. I acknowledge the Vali Myer Trust for kindly allowing me to use their photographic images as reference for this work. This painting is on quality Italian linen and is ready to hang.
