Bob Viau Cape Ann Artist
A Call To Artists
From Bob Viau;
First and foremost, a big thank you for highlighting Cape Ann Artists. I am responding to your “Call for Artists”.
Attached is a photograph and description of a sculpted 3 x6 relief comprised of bronze, aluminum, copper and brass I created entitled “Philadelphia”.
There is quite a history behind this piece in that at the time I completed the work it went on display at a corporate office in Boston where a friend of mine worked. His company was relocating and I was notified to pick up the piece. When I arrived the next morning I discovered the sculpture was gone and only the brass frame remained mounted on the wall. This sculpture of Philadelphia was nearly 400 pounds. It would be no easy task to steal it but someone managed to do just that. With the help of my friend and the police, the search was on. I showed photographs of the piece to everyone. No one had any information. Completely discouraged, I knew I would probably never see the piece again. Living in Gloucester and seven years later I get a phone call out of the blue from an old friend who was an electrician in the wharf buildings in Boston. He says “Bobby, you know that sculpture of yours that was stolen? I have it”. You can imagine the shock. He explained he caught some guys moving it into an office building. He told them it was stolen property and the name Robert Viau was sculpted into the back. They handed it over and took off. It turns out they were connected to an advertising agency that was located a few floors up from the Boston office it was originally displayed at. When they heard the business was relocating, they came down in the night and stole it off the wall. It is back now and currently for SALE for private or corporate collection. The piece is listed at $13,500. I am offering a 15% commission to anyone who can complete full sale of the piece. All the work on my website is my own at www.studiovo.com . Please visit my studio at the 121R at the East Gloucester Marina.
Best, Bob Viau

Deb Clarkes Painting Class 05/16/2010 6:30am
“St Peter’s Square, 6:30 am” by Deb Clarke, oil on canvas. colors: grumbacher titanium white (original formula), grumbacher cad yellow pale, grumbacher yellow ochre, grumbacher red, winsor newton cobalt blue.
From Deb Clarke;
We met at St. Peter’s Square this morning to paint and discovered there is a lot of color in this busy downtown crossing in Gloucester. Not too many peeps around, plenty of parking. I was set-up and painting by the time the students arrived. We packed up at 9. This is the painting that I did of Intershells’ new seafood store. The building used to be green. Now it is ochre with a blue float moored along side. Perhaps the float will appear in the Fiesta Parade or the Horribles? not too far away, and then, well, summer will seem to be over. Below is my source material.
I think I saw more color than the camera. Liz wnated to know what else I would do to my painting. I wasn’t sure, so I asked her what she would do. She thought I should work into some of my color shapes. So I did and I added some foreground interest.
Here is Liz working on her painting. Interesting how the Intershell sign intersects with Liz’s easel. almost looks like part of the painting. and below is the shot over Tom towards Liz’s area of interest, followed by Tom’s second color study of the morning.
What impressed me about this morning is that each painting had its own ‘color’, unique to each artist. Two weeks ago I introduced pthalo blue into each student’s palette and the resulting work looked as if we all used the same color recipe.
My friend Charles drew with us for a while. He is concentrating on perspective and started a delightful drawing of the Blackburn Tavern Building and the wacky architecure surrounding the Washington/Main Street intersection. I suggested he go to the library and look at the watercolor drawings of Raoul Dufy.
Please join us if you would like to paint or draw with us for a few hours. Classes are $25, bring your paints and/or drawing materials. we will meet next sunday morning, weather permitting at 6:30 in St. Peter’s Square parking lot to set-up to start painting by 7. The sun was four fingers above the horizon when I got there this morning. Next sunday I might arrive by 6. There is a lot of visual stuff down there. Could keep an artist busy for a life time. and if I keep doing this, I just might become a landscape painter, or at least a colorist.

More TOILET HUMOUR! This may get me fired.
I put out a call for Artists so I could help Promote their work.
The First Artist to respond was Neil Savage.
http://www.neilsavagedesign.com/
He may not be Local but he does read GMG.
Here’s a little info from Neil;
My name is Neil Savage and I am 20 years old. I was born and raised in Germantown, Maryland and graduated from Seneca Valley High School in 2008. Throughout high school, I was involved in cross country, swimming and lacrosse, three varsity sports. During my senior year, I was an intern for the Montgomery County Public Schools Web Services as a graphic designer and web developer. There, I worked on building school websites as well as designing logos.
Currently, I am attending Towson University and seeking a degree in graphic design. Along with school, I manage many websites for local companies in the area. I also run my own website on how to build a poker table, which I built when I was 16. The site provides users with detailed instructions and pictures on how they can build their own poker table. After college, I plan on becoming a full-time web designer for a web firm or even opening my own firm.
Here’s Neil’s First Art Submission.
Thanks, Neil!
Why should I be the only one who receives praise on my ‘TOILET HUMOUR”
Date: September 20, 2009
Medium: Acrylic on Plastic with Clear Gloss

From Deb Clarke;
hey there!
i went to the Cape Ann Historical Museum on saturday afternoon to find that my paintings are not currently on exhibit. Peter Vincent’s paintings greet you at the entrance to the Maritime Collection. and in the upstairs hall, the bright wonderful world of Clara Wainwright. There is a quilt of the world that is in progress. the instructions say: pick up a needle and make a stitch. i will go back to do so, and i want to look at some etchings that caught my attention, as well as, the new aquisitions (2 bernard chaet seascapes are worth another look).

Sunday Morning Painting Class
There will be no class on Mother’s Day May 9th
Classes will resume May 16th at St Peter’s Square Parking lot 6:30 am
and these are the paintings we did. left 1,2,3: Paul Frontiero. center on clipboard: Liz Bish. next: Debbie Clarke demo of a gesture painting reflecting my response to the color and feel of the morning. on right: Tom Amend. Last week painter Jeff Weaver stopped by and noted everyone was painting a different view. This past Sunday we all faced the backlit hill with sun rising behind. 3/4 of the way through the class I introduced pthalo green into each of the students’ palette, showing them the cool/warm possibilities.
- “Cripple Cove gesture” Copyright Debbie Clarke oil on canvas 12″x16″5/2/10
Liz wanted to know what I would do next to my painting. Nothing. maybe I will sign it. The gesture is a completely different ‘scene’ than the one I started with. When I started to paint I did not know what was interesting about what I was observing. I made one spot of color against another. between conversations with students I painted and then ‘wham’ the dark shape pressing down on the center of the picture plane against the house caught my eye.

it’s all about the “F” word!
Chill Out!
It’s not what you think.
I love Quotations. Here are a few on “FUN“
“there are worse things in life than having fun” Bill Harris
“If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun” Katherine Hepburn
“When the fun goes out of play, most often so does the learning”. Joanne E. Oppenheim
“Creativity is about play and a kind of willingness to go with your intuition. It’s crucial to an artist. If you know where you are going and what you are going to do, why do it? I think I learned that from the artists, from my grandmother, from all the creative people I’ve spent time with over the years”. Frank O. Gehry
