Shari Elf Gallery (Good and Sturdy Art From Trash)

AUGUST 4, 2017

Hello Friend. I appreciate you! I have the best job in the world. Being me! Thanks for having a look at my good and sturdy art. I love to make things and I love to recycle. And sometimes I sing a little song I wrote. Something good is gonna happen to you today!

Some fresh new works I made this week in my studio at Art Queen in Joshua Tree, California

Hey! Here is the wonderful and world famous photographer Ryan McGinley and his sidekick, Dick the Dog with their SURRENDER sign from Christmas last year. I got to be a model for a Ryan McGinley photo shoot last year in Amboy Crater and at the Salton Sea!

I'm thinking of Hans Riecke and his family gathering on Maui to be with him now, he is on hospice. Here is Hans and I with some of his collection in his home on Maui.

PAINTING FROM A COLLECTION BY "DEVATTE"? I CAN'T READ HER WRITING BUT I BOUGHT A COLLECTION OF MOSTLY NUDE PAINTINGS FROM HER AT THE YUCCA VALLEY SWAP MEET IN FEBRUARY. THEY WERE HER EARLY PAINTNGS, WELL FROM THE EARLY 21ST CENTURY. I SOLD SOME OF THE PAINTINGS AT ROB PRUITT'S FLEA MARKET AT THE PALM SPRINGS ART MUSEUM. I REALLY ENJOYED PLAYING WITH THESE, THIS IS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE. NOW FRAMED IN A SWAP MEET FRAME PAINTED WITH MY FAVORITE OOPS PAINT FROM PARKER LUMBER ON OLD WOMAN SPRINGS ROAD IN YUCCA VALLEY. I TRY TO AVOID THAT BIG DUMB HARDWARE STORE AND LOVE SHOPPING AT THIS LITTLE HARDWARE STORE, WHERE THEY KNOW ME BY NAME AND I GET A FREE $5 GIFT FOR MY BIRTHDAY AND RANDOMLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
