Bruce Weber's VMAN L.A. Diary May 2012

When folks come by and take pictures and talk about writing about the experience of being in Big Sur and the cabin where we live, you never know if this will come to pass or not. There is so much going on - the world is a big place - and the experience of being here can seem, later, like a dream. But a few months ago Bruce Weber and his wife Nan Bush came for a visit and we had a wonderful talk around tea and cookies by the fire, it was one of those wintry rainy perfect Big Sur days, and now there is a beautiful story with gorgeous pictures out on the magazine racks about our day together, and about Big Sur. You can't miss this magazine - what a cover! Go inside to Bruce Weber's V Man L.A. Diary and go almost to the end of the 14 page spread. There you will find our page - with images from the cabin, paintings, even our tea and cookies on the table. Don't be thrown by the many photos of gorgeous young men partially clad or not clad at all. Somehow amid all this gorgeous nubile youth Bruce found room for our story, and I'm so grateful he did.

robin purcell , watercolors in the plein air tradition: 19th Carmel Art Festival 2012 Paintings

robin purcell , watercolors in the plein air tradition: 19th Carmel Art Festival 2012 Paintings I have long admired Robin's paintings. I love her color, her really personal and unique style, and am impressed by the consistency of her approach to painting the landscape, in watercolor, en plein aire. I share this link here because she writes about her experience at the Carmel Art Festival 2012, as I do at www.eringafill.com/blog, and it is nice to hear someone else's experience with these kind of things. See you next year Robin!

Valentines Art on Winslow Art TV Channel 19 (Monterey Bay, CA.)

Right before the Valentine's Weekend, JW Winslow had me on her show, Winslow Art, a celebration of art, music, dance, and literature and happenings on California's Central Coast. It was a lively hour of live television, talking about "hot picks" of the weekend, and showing new artworks.

My favorite part of working with JW is her enthusiasm for the creative process. We get into that every time I'm on one of her t.v. or radio shows.
