My View of Life on the Dock
She has every recipe typed out with step by step pictures and directions. Pictured is just a binder with all of them printed out from her digital files and in a ginormous 3 ring binder. Some brilliant publisher is going to make her an offer. With her already built in audience from these pages and The Gloucester Times Taste of The Times it’s sure to be a hit.
Are you planning to buy one when it gets published?

I dig the reflections especially the red on the wet herring vats in the right hand part of the picture which are reflections of the port side red navigation light on the F/V Endevour.

A certain fisherman of ours used to go crazy for Heidi Watney (her reporting that is). Do you think the Sox upgraded at the sports babe sideline reporter position or downgraded with Jenny Dell?

Artist Talk with Joel Janowitz Painter and Printmaker, Distinguished Artist/Teacher, Goetemann Artist in Residency Program, Rocky Neck Art Colony. Presented by the Museum in partnership with Rocky Neck Art Colony. Reception to follow. This program is free and open to the public; reservations required.
See Workshops (below) for information about Joel Janwitz’s workshops on Rocky Neck.

The Goetemann Residency presents a Distinguished Artist/Teacher 4 Day Watercolor Workshop on Rocky Neck. All levels are welcome.
At its best, to paint with watercolors is to engage in a conversation with the medium. More often it is, as Sargent said, "making the best of an emergency." In either instance, a good conversation or a dire emergency, one needs to think clearly and respond immediately. This workshop will explore strategies for working with the surprising medium of watercolor. Progressive exercises and projects will focus on a variety of working methods and on increasing one’s awareness of color and value relationships — two key factors in capturing a convincing sense of light. At the same time, we will stay open to responding playfully, quickly, and spontaneously to the quirky surprises constantly offered up by the medium. Work will be primarily from observation.
The workshop will take place from May 14-17 on Rocky Neck and is divided into two sections:
PRICE : RNAC members, $25 per section. Non RNAC are $50 per section. You are welcome to become a RNAC member to sign up for this course. Two scholarships are available.
For registration, schedule, materials list and location* of classes or any questions please e-mail:RGlouc@comcast.net
* It is hoped that these classes will be held outside.
Three outstanding artists were selected for the 2012 Goetemann Artist in Residence program.
See rockyneckartcolony.org/residency.php for more images and information about each of the three resident artists.

This is a view into the courtyard garden I designed for Willowdale Estate. The tulips are at their peak. I call this mix of colors my ‘Bridal Mix,’ because it provides a symphony of watercolor hues for the April and May weddings. Don’t you think too that the satiny sheen of the tulip petals looks like the silk satin gowns of wedding parties?

BOSTON — The Coast Guard is searching for a possible missing kayaker after a red kayak was located in the Annisquam River south of Wingaersheek Beach, Mass., Tuesday.
A good Samaritan located the kayak near the mouth of the Mill River at approximately 3 p.m. and notified the Coast Guard.
The kayak is a Field and Stream model and has a serial number of XLJ95913C111.
A Coast Guard Station Gloucester 25-foot Response Boat-Small crew is currently searching the area.
"We aren’t sure if the kayak simply broke free from a mooring or if there’s someone really missing," said Ens. Michael Barker, the command duty officer at the Coast Guard Sector Boston Command Center. "Along with sending out a search crew, we are asking the public to let us know if they have any information regarding the owner of the kayak."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sector Boston Command Center at 617-223-5757.
The Coast Guard recommends kayakers and other paddlers place a Paddle Smart sticker with their name and phone numbers where rescuers may reach them or a friend or relative in the event their kayak is found. Paddlers and kayakers can also use a waterproof, permanent marker to write the information on their craft.
Yesterday former gimmesound Artist of the Week Brad Byrd released his new video on GMG (see here) directed by another former gimmesound Artist of the Week Brandon Rose. Excellent job, Brandon, Brad, Brie and everyone who made this happen!
Part of this video was shot at Minglewood Tavern on St. Pat’s day, so we thought we’d piece together some of the behind-the-scenes footage of the making of that video for you to see today. You’ll see actresses Brie Hobbs trying out for the part of Brad’s girl-friend at the casting call and Stacey Iwanicki, who played one of the fans. And of course you’ll see our boy Joey C, who was there for the entire shoot. In the final video, there’s a good shot of Joey in the audience. Welcome to the big time, Joey!
Brad will be shooting another video at Minglewood next Saturday, May 5, so you’ve got another chance to be in the audience and get on screen! Stay tuned to GMG for details.
You know summer is on the way when there are 8 venues with music on a Wednesday night in Gloucester alone! See the full music lineup here.
Just wanted to update everyone that we had a great day on Monday at Art Haven’s new space, finishing building out some walls, getting the art materials thrift store cleaned out, and Sal Russo coming through HUGE by finishing repointing the back wall of our function room!
Here’s the awesome crew from Chris Fogarty Carpentry who generously volunteered their time to put up most of the walls in the space:
And the RAYS kids helping to get the thrift store ready!
And even a couple of the TAG kids stopping by to check out the awesome new space they’ll get to use! (Can you tell their excited?)
