When two Barnard College classmates visited my studio recently one of them purchased this beautiful fish painting for her home in North Carolina.
"Sunfish" Acrylic on unstretched canvas. 30" x 40" Artist: Sherry Miller SOLD
Below is the original 19th century print which I used as a source for this painting.
I began posting ideas and images in 1992 on Women's Wire with Nancy Rhine Figallo, Pamela Heyda, Kathleen McMahon and others who are also still active online. And there were other BBSs on New Media, Multimedia, Art, etc. My then revolutionary website, Sherryart.com, had columns and sections for other authors and essays organized into categories like Nanotechnology, Maine, Paintings, etc. Around 1997 I began a real blog called Oldest Woman on the Web which I was at the time but certainly am not now. This blog, perhaps seven years old, has a lot of long articles in the Categories on the right.
I hope you'll stop here often and comment when you can. You'll find new paintings and some thoughts - and my new category Thinking.
Stripped bass are one of my favorite fish to eat but they're only really good fresh out of the ocean. When I was a kid my father would catch five or six big ones off the South Jersey shore. And then when I lived on East 17th Street in New York I'd go to the Italian fish markets on First Avenue and buy whole stripped bass which made a spectacular meal with their heads and tails still on. But later in Maine I discovered that people there called them dogfish and wouldn't eat them because they thought they were too oily. Happily we have them again here in California but they're much smaller.
