I'm down at my sister's place for my birthday, being an extra set of hands while she recovers from surgery (she's doing well! it's a weird bone thing not a "get the cancer out" thing) and we did a very low key birthday hang here.

The very interesting, but short, life of Denham Fouts

Truman Capote once joked that if Denham Fouts had accepted Adolf Hitler's advances, the Second World War might never have happened. It's the kind of outrageous claim that sums up Fouts perfectly: a man who left behind almost nothing of his own making, and yet somehow ended up at the centre of some of the twentieth century's most extraordinary company.

He never published a novel, painted a canvas or held a job for more than a few months. Instead, he became a muse to Capote, Christopher Isherwood and Gore Vidal, was kept in turn by a German baron, a Greek prince and a British lord, and briefly had a real Picasso hanging in his own apartment.

He died broke, addicted and largely forgotten, at 34.

A fantastical dragon with a sunsettish sky behind it, its fire exhalations blown back over its head in the wind and its claws digging into a pile of rocks. 2. Several highly realistic cows in a field, one eating, one's head up but not visible, and the third lowing at the fourth wall, surrounded by a heart-shaped border of elaborately quilted flowers. 3. A zebra mid-gallop, behind layers of tall grasses that are, somehow, also a sky field with stars on a base of clouds. 4. Two cats on a windowsill deep enough to curl up on, one orange, and one grey with white mittens. Outside the window is a rich, dense flower garden, and behind that a neighbor's house where a tuxedo cat is looking at the foreground. Ellie used a panel of clear plastic for the window panel, which is shown in the up position.

Ellie Fernald was among my strongest influences as a child. She was in a performance troupe (music and vaudeville-style comedy) with my dad when I was in grade school, her house was a riot of fabulous art (both hers and others), and she had an inspirational collection of gorgeously illustrated children's books. I thought of her as a potter for the most part, because her entire basement was a pottery studio, but she was also an expert quilter and painter, and she explored many forms over her lifetime.

These are some wall hangings that have ended up in my dad's house, and my sister, Erin, and I are undertaking some restoration work on them β€” cleaning them, repairing some places where stitching has come undone, and in a couple of cases removing and repairing internal wooden frames that have broken. It's going to be a lot of work! But I'm excited to spend some time with these beautiful pieces, enjoying her painting and quilting brilliance.
