Fitz Henry Lane: Distressed

This poster is morphing into some interesting statements.  Maybe the city or museum will give me the poster to make more art; whenever, someone decides to update this visual tourist attraction.

Walking in Gloucester May 24, 2012

These images from yesterday mornings walk satisfy me. Someday I may know how to paint like this.  Until then, these pics will stay in my files under the tag omg.  If I get some ink, I will print these out.

Famous Artist Home: The Stone Jug

The Stone Jug is the former home of Fitz Henry Lane, the famous landscape painter.  The house is on a hill in the Harbor Loop of downtown Gloucester.  Prior to the urban renewal blitz that hit Gloucester in the '60's the stone jug was tucked into the dense little neighborhood where Pew Court used to be.  

Note to self:  Become a famous artist and long after your dead, your name might be spelled wrong for a hundred years, and your misspelled name might appear on a sign perched atop an international amenities placard.  I've never been inside the stone jug. Maybe I will take a summer vacation and visit some of the sites of Gloucester, including this stone jug.

Green.

Picasso paraphrase:  'i get so full of green that i must paint green.'

Debbie Clarke: have observed fish for so long that i now see fish in the landscape. 

Green.  is the first in a series of digital photos that i have been taking during my walks, drives around Gloucester.  This green is somewhere along a walk from Main Street to East Main.  There are so many beautiful scenes around Cape Ann, the web is full of the beauty.  some of it breathtakingly beautiful, some manipulated, some 'artsy'.  Viewed collectively I feel as if I have eaten too much cotton candy.  I've decided to let my camera capture my world from another angle.  it's all set on auto, because i don't understand all of the adjustments, nor do i want to.  i have discovered the ease with which i can zoom in on something.  the camera is so smart, it sees the world in compositions that i immediately respond to.

i trust you will too.
