 A "tear" sketch. The very beginning of a torn paper project. Torn off, ripped away.  A detail of my recent painting: A cobalt blue tarantula! Fuzzy beauty. Trip to BAMPFA on Feb 4, 2024. LOVE the Bird peice. It is about a warbler that went extinct in 2022. The label is in the folder of pictures: photos.app.goo.gl/38WSUe3sL1vYyhXBA it's been too long. time goes running.I have so much in folders, bookmarked, etc; pictures, notes. I must get it all on here. But for now, there's this.  a snapshot in the studio ARTLIFE LIFEART. Beauty in the street. Art is everywhere, whether made by someone's hand or occurring just by being.While walking in Oakland late at night I found a plastic bag that was ripped and contorted and thickened in a way, it had become another sort of being. I traced it on a wall and painted it. I was going to go back and touch it up just a bit, as the perfectionist I am, but it was gone before I saw it in the light. The bag is in my car right now, being its art self. I'm not finished with it yet. Recent sketches. New books and a couple excerpts... someone's ceramics in a window in Mesa, AZ. These days I've been looking at lots of art, which is fabulous. My own work is like a choo choo train that is meandering with a blurry map. I'm continuing to work on bits and pieces of photography and drawings mostly, along with Plan B of my commission. Last weekend I met up with a SF Sketchers for the first time, it was cool. At Sutro Park. Here's a snapshot of my sketch, it's cute I guess.  Sketch from Sutro Heights, San Francisco. ©️ Erin Feller I took some snapshots of sketches from over the years that are in my travel sketchbook that is always in my bag. This one filled up a month or two ago. all images ©️ Erin Feller. Here is one of the proofs from my New Mexico trip. This house was far away from everything. It's colors juxtaposed with all the colors near it created a soft lightness, bright beauty. All the rubble like beach stones. Sylvia Sleigh, what can I say? Bravo then and bravo now. Bravo for all time. RELEVANT.
