STELA!!!

A quick study of "compare and contrast". Below, Stela at my Sweet 16, and above, now.

I met Stela in Junior High Art Club. We went to Art & Design together, traveling by subway everyday. We have been in and out of each other's lives but always maintained contact.

Good to know we can still do a 2 hour morning hike in California hills.

Julia (Stela's daughter)Stela me and Lily at the Legion of Honor museum to see the "Pulp Fashion" exhibit. This artist takes paper, paints it, cuts it etc. and recreates clothes from famous paintings, hundreds of years of fashion design from paper. I see it as a statement about ephemera (paper) a short lived media, coupled with fashion, also a short lived art form. Not to kvell too much BUT both our daughters were sketching in the museum.

We also went to the deYoung of Fine arts to see the Balenciaga exhibit. Time ran out to see the California Impressionists, have to figure out how to get back there tomorrow...this is not a subway or bus kind of town.
