Stella Ehrich.
STELLA!
Of the many talented canvas artists featured at Fiddlehead at Four Corners, none is more accomplished than oil master Stella Ehrich of North Bennington by way of New Orleans and pretty much everywhere in between.
Time and again, people walk into the gallery and ask about this:
Art Gallery Dude loves Stella's portraits because they drip with innocence, and her subjects look like they're straight out of 1728 -- a prime example being "Sascha" ...
That's where she has shown.

Time and again, people walk into the gallery and ask about this:
It is a replica of a Stella piece that passers-by see in one of Fiddlehead's big windows facing Main Street. The piece has no name other than "Untitled" -- and Art Gallery Dude wants it pretty badly for his collection. Stella has the original, so there's still hope.
Stella breathes life onto canvas with her oils and her soul.

... other art lovers love how Stella transfers her vision of landscapes onto canvas ...

| John and Roberta Bennett appreciate "Trees in Winter" by Stella Ehrich (Joey Kulkin photo, 10/21/12) |
John and Roberta Bennett walked into Fiddlehead today and asked Art Gallery Dude where they could see Stella Ehrich's work. Third or fourth time it's happened this week. One of the reasons for that is last week's article in the Bennington Banner.
Art Gallery Dude told Roberta how "Sascha" moves him and that he plans to buy it (say, does anyone have twelve hundred and fifty bucks he can borrow?), and then Roberta stepped in front of "Trees in Winter" and explained in a 78-second video why it moves her.
"Because," she said with hand gestures aplenty, "it is evoking in me the exact feeling in my body that I get when I look at the late-winter sunlight."
The Art Gallery Dude posted the video on Stella's Facebook page. She loved Bobby's words:
