Reproduction of The Sanctuary by Kellie Day
Kellie Day — "The Sanctuary" is a compelling example of contemporary painterly floral art that synthesizes modern abstraction with a deep reverence for natural forms. The work aligns with the broader tradition of Impressionism and Modernist Abstracts, particularly in its use of loose, expressive brushwork to capture the fleeting essence of a moment rather than a precise botanical illustration. Compositionally, the artwork employs an asymmetric balance, with the floral forms arranged in a dynamic, almost choreographed pattern that guides the viewer's eye across the canvas. The use of negative space is masterful, allowing the vibrant colors to pop against the light, textured background, creating a sense of depth and airiness. The color palette, dominated by warm oranges and reds against a cool, pale blue, generates a high-contrast yet harmonious effect, emphasizing the vibrancy of the flowers. This interplay of color and texture is not merely decorative; it serves to convey the artist's interpretation of the subject, focusing on the emotional and sensory experience of beauty. The piece is a testament to the enduring appeal of botanical subjects in art, reimagined through a distinctly modern lens that prioritizes emotional resonance over literal representation. It stands as a significant contribution to the genre of contemporary floral painting, demonstrating how traditional subjects can be revitalized through innovative technique and a bold aesthetic vision.For more art by Kellie Day click here.

Recommended for All Lawyers
Format: Paperback
Meyer proves his initial point that much of what lawyers do is storytelling, and he achieves his goal of providing a primer on narrative theory for lawyer-storytellers. The book is sophisticated but written in an engaging way using non-technical language. Examples from legal and literary works abound, and they range from courtroom arguments and appellate briefs on the one hand to an essay by Joan Didion and Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five" on the other. Meyer's favorite stories are found in Hollywood movies, and although he seems unaware of the accomplishment,Meyer provides fresh interpretations of such movies as "HIgh Noon" and"Jaws." I strongly recommend "Storytelling for Lawyers" for all law students, lawyers, and judges.

Notes on Legal Style by a Law Professor and Experienced Lawyer.
Format: Kindle
BOOK REVIEW: MEYER, Philip N., Storytelling for Lawyers
ISBN: 978-0-19-5396638
Read June, 13th-27th, 2017.
This book discusses storytelling tools by presenting a series of examples of good storytelling, both in legal settings and in literary works and movies. If theoretical explanations are sometimes a bit dry, the frequent quoting of practical examples conveys fluidity and speed to the book.
After an introduction presenting lawyers as storytellers, it deals with the roles played in storytelling by Plots (chapters 2 and 3); Character (4 and 5); Voice, Perspective, Details and Images, and Rhytm and Speed (which relate to Scene and Summary) (chapter 6); Place or Story Environment (chapter 7) and Narrative Time.
Focusing maybe too narrowly on legal storytelling before American juries, plot is almost equated with melodrama. Films like Jaws and High Noon are extensively discussed, as Gerry Spence’s Closing Argument on Behalf of Karen Silkwood. The chapters on character offer interesting insights on character classification (“round” characters, with psychological depth, prone to suffer transformation as the story evolves, vs. “flat” ones), while discussing the tools for telling how a character is, as opposed to simply showing the psychological nature of each character’s character through dialogue or the actions the character performs. Examples include Tobias Wolff’s This Boy’s Life and Jeremiah Donovan’s Closing Arguments on Behalf of Louis Failla, in a 13-week trial the Author could scrupulously attend in person.
Discussions on Voice, Perspective, Details and Images, Scene and Summary, criticize the basic assumptions of the neutrality of lawyers’ voices, exemplifies how to manage details to suggest ideas and emotions, draw on the distinction between showing and telling, and offers interesting insights into the narrative theory’s concept of stretch (the slowing of the narrative rhythm in relation to the narrated story’s). Environment depiction storytelling tools deals with Joan Didion’s The White Album and the Judicial Opinion in a Rape Case, quoting also from W. G. Sebald’s The Emigrants and the Petition Briefs in Reck v. Ragen and Miranda v. Arizona. Further examples are Kathryn Harrison’s While They Slept and the Petitioner’s Brief in Eddings v. Oklahoma.
Finally, the chapter on Narrative Time draws on Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five and explores time, rhythm or speed, discussing more deeply stretch and the relation of time of the narrative itself with the time of the facts dealt with in the narrative. Chronology is discussed and criticized; Analepsis or Flashback is didactically explained and exemplified, both in general storytelling theory and in its legal use; the same holds for Prolepsis (Flash-forward) and Ellipsis (the intentional omission of a part of the narrative, often with the purpose of emphasizing the omitted event. Pacing and Rhythm are discussed in more lenght, with the caveat - repeated somewhat throughout the book - that legal stories are often left unfinished by the lawyer, in order to allow the jurors or judges fill the end with their decision.
The Author remarks his purpose was to suggest possible tools and ways of dealing with problems which arise in legal storytelling, and he delivers what he promises.

Great book and great professor
Format: Paperback
Professor Meyer is a great writer. I had took his death penalty case at Vermont Law School. He writes for numerous magazines including the ABA. I would highly recommend this book and all of his writings.

Interesting book
Format: Paperback
I am not a lawyer, nor a writer, but rather a reader. I found the correlation of legal storytelling with sceenplay, literary narrative quite interesting. Legal trials are theater.

Highly recommended -- not just for lawyers!
Format: Paperback
I'm not a lawyer but a Classics professor looking for modern parallels to (and contrasts with) Cicero's persuasive strategies in Roman courts. This book was just what I was looking for: lucid, informative, smart, and as a bonus, well versed in narrative theory, which Meyer handles as an experienced teacher -- avoiding jargon and needless complication, illustrating the key ideas with well-known cinematic examples.
