Hey Joey: Great to see you and Frank yesterday and thanks for some great lobsters which we at last night. Joanne wanted me to forward you the website address of our good friend and excellent artist Rob Dieboll. Rob and his wife Kim actually turned us onto Captain Joe’s in 2007 when we bought our place in Rockport. We have several of Rob’s prints and a couple of his originals on our walls here. He is noted for his paintings of Good Harbor beach people and they all evoke a story in the beholder’s imagination. Check the site out at www.diebboll.com.
Joanne’s gonna make me winner winner chicken dinner next week (hopefully). Sometime I want you and the Mrs. to come over for my favorite soup in the world that Joanne makes in the winter time: Portugese bean soup with oxtails. It’s an old family recipe that emanated in Honolulu and will knock your socks off.
Thanks again Joey for being your personable self!
Best regards, Ben

Am I the only one thinking Ben’s making out pretty good in this deal? He gets lobsters from me and then wants to go and feed me oxtails?
Is that even legal? I mean I already pissed off Buddha last week I don’t need the PETA crazies comin’ for me.

Last June, I traveled to Moorea, a volcanic island in the middle of the South Pacific and part of Tahiti. Moorea can truly be called "Paradise on Earth". A place I had only read about was suddenly the place I stood, paints in hand. I often had the feeling there of being in a dream. I couldn’t help but think of Fletcher Christian and the Bounty or wonder where Gauguin and Matisse might have walked… My greatest challenge was seeing through its picture-postcard beauty. It is a real place, after all. On Tahiti I was drawn by the swiftly changing clouds, lush vegetation, and the colors of the ocean- the same elements I love about my home in Gloucester, Mass., on the Atlantic. As far apart as they are, each place has helped me see the other- more often contrasting though at times reminiscent.

Conrad Armstrong is an American artist who currently lives and works in Prague, Czech Republic, where he splits his time between teaching English, making art, and exhibiting. One of Conrad’s primary interests is the intersection between landscape and memory in human culture and history. Over the last decade, Conrad’s work has dealt with this theme in various media and from different perspectives. Landscape paintings made from memory, topographic paper sculpture, mnemonically-encoded images, landscape installation, and drawing and painting in situ are all manifestations of this interest. In addition to this theme, Conrad has also produced other bodies of work and exhibitions on other subjects including fetish objects, the role of social networks in contemporary life, the relationship between cars and alternative modes of transportation, and the potential of the classroom as a creative space. Underlying all of Conrad’s work is a sense of curiosity, playfulness, and whimsy that results in a compelling and often funny experience for the viewer. Though he is quite familiar with the North Shore, Conrad is delighted to have the opportunity to deepen his relationship with the area while developing his work at Rocky Neck in September 2011.
Hello all,
Wanted to let you know that I’m doing an installation and presentation at Cape Ann Museum’s White Ellery House on Sat. Sept. 3, from 11-3 pm. I’ll be presenting my 45-minute performance/lecture at 11:30 and 1:30 called "Just, one word…"
The project deals generally with our use, over-use, and disposal of plastics, and their toxicity and effect on our public health. The presentation specifically highlights the issue of marine plastic pollution and its impact on ocean ecosystems including the marine food chain. The project is based on a whole lot of research I’ve done in the past year or so, including my voyage last month across the North Pacific with leading marine scientists who study the issue of marine plastic pollution.
Addressing this issue as an artist, I’m offering a different kind of communication of the hard scientific data that is currently on the minds of many marine scientists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, and policy-makers. I hope you will join me at the White Ellery House on September 3!
Yours,
Karen

I asked David if I could take some photos for the blog, he thought that woud be great. and explained how this was a 5 day intensive workshop of “Painting Figures in the Garden”.
David has more workshops planned and he also has a class every Saturday at The Cox Resevation in Essex that is a great deal. Check them out by clicking this link below.

Adam Bolonsky reports-
Sean Hurley, local artist at work in his studio at Beacon Marine Basin, just one of many artists’ beehives located throughout Gloucester, opens up his studio to Good Morning Gloucester.
Watch while Sean runs the first step in printing a large-sized copper plate etching: inking the etched copper plate.
The print Sean has created is far larger than 11″x17″.
And, attention, Gloucester and Rockport gallery owners! Sean has representation in New York, but none on Cape Ann!
