The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.

Vincent Van Gogh

Sheila Foley of Stoneham, Ma. has found a nice little niche for herself. Among other creative endeavors she is a live event painter. She captures special events as they occur, or,when schedules conflict, she does on-site preliminary renditions which she competes later from photos taken at the event. Either way, what comes out is a unique way to remember important occasions.

Here, Sheila does some sketches of the pier at Maritime Gloucester in preparation for a live event painting of an upcoming engagement party.

Here it is, from launch to the early finishers.

“Carpe Diem” does not mean “fish of the day.” ~Author Unknown

Five miles meandering with mazy motion,Through dale the sacred river ran. . . .
