“Art Rocks” Another one Left Behind

I left another “Art Rock”  at a local Beach Back on 5/12/2010

I checked the other day and it’s still there.

If you find it you can keep it, toss it back in the water or pass it on.

The Title of the Sketch on the Rock is the Clue.

It may be a little hard for most of the GMG Readers to figure out. 🙂

Can you guess where it is? (front of Rock)

John Nesta Gallery

The John Nesta Gallery on Rocky Neck

I had Great Time Visiting John at his Gallery on Rocky Neck this past weekend. He is a wealth of information on Painting and the Gloucester Waterfront. If you’ve never been, put it on your “ToDo” List.

John’s there 7 days a week, All Year Long. You can usually see his Red Van or as he calls it his “Studio on Wheels” parked out front.

He has an Easel and everything else he needs for Painting in the back so he can paint in any weather conditions. 

John is a prolific Painter and you’ll see that when you visit his Gallery.

Here are some Photos I took Last weekend at The John Nesta Gallery.

Thinking of Cezanne, from Deb Clarke

From, deb Clarke;

Here’s a quick recap of my Memorial Day on East Main.  Here are 2 pics:  one is my reference material looking down on Joey’s docks across to the State Fish Pier with the city and western shore in the far distance, with a bit of green in the sky caused by the Canadian woodfires’ haze. I’ve been thinking alot about Cezanne and how he made plane changes in his paintings.  Cezanne wanted to create a painting with the solidity of a sculpture.  He didn’t rely on a directed light to illuminate objects; instead, he emphasized the form and organization of the picture plane through the direction of his stroke and color changes.  The light  seems to come from ‘within Cezanne’s paintings’.    In my work in progress I’ve paid particular attention to the way planes meet.  My space is getting a bit wonkie, and I am very interested in the spot that is in the very center of my painting.

 
best, 
deb
 
ps:  I will put work up on the wall as often as my time and weather permits!

My Father Paul F. Frontiero Sr. never misses this Ceremony. He is 85 years old and Legally Blind, but you can still seem him walking around Main st. and at the Senior Center everyday. Paul was a Coxswain of an LCVP invasion boat  in the WWII Pacific Theater. He Drove the LCVP in many Invasions such as; Saipan, Tinian, leyte and more I can’t remember at the moment.  He has some great stories of his time in the Pacific. Say hi if you ever seem him Downtown.

My Fathers Painting he did of himself and his Landing craft. LCVP

Remember

We who are left how shall we look again
Happily on the sun or feel the rain
Without remembering how they who went
Ungrudgingly and spent
Their lives for us loved, too, the sun and rain?

Banana’s Mystery Item REVEALED!

Banana’s Mystery Item REVEALED!

louise brooks in 1924
 
 
From, deb Clarke;
1920’s American Dancer/Film Actress/Writer  Louise Brooks may have worn panties very similiar to the panties hanging from Bananas’ tin ceiling while dancing a fan dance in Paris, or in film, or with the Ziegfield Follies.  our feathered panties are from a long closed 1930’s Miami Beach nightclub.  the g-string guess was pretty close, but these babies are many strands away from a ‘g’.  btw: her helmet haircut became the iconic hairdo of the times.  perhaps Betty Page copied Louise’s ‘doo’.

How many times do I have to appologise to the readers of GMG?

How many times do I have to beg Joey to let me post again after I posted a childish photo of  A Photoshoped Joey sitting on a toilet or Sharons name tatooed on someones butt. I don’t know if the hurt YOU caused me will ever go away.

How many times do I have to  promise and promise never to ever post another Childish or Disgusting Photo like the one below?

A Childish and Disgusting Photo I will never post again

Frank I’ve realized whatever I do, I’ll never regain your Trust in me.

You Hurt me!

Sincerely,

Paul
