NEW MEMBERS, SPECIAL GUEST ARTIST and MIRANDA LOCAL COLORS ARTISTS’ COOPERATIVE

Posted on by James Eves

Local Colors Artists’ Cooperative on 121 Main Street in Gloucester announces two new members: Peter Black and Mya R Nelson. We also have a special guest artist on display, Joan Bediz, through October and have installed their Day of the Dead altar for the public to write their remembrances. In addition, Miranda, the resident skeleton, is back in her finery through October 31.

Meet Our Two New Members

Ceramic artist Peter Black works from his Gloucester studio, using many different techniques in creating his pieces. Recently, Peter has been primarily working with porcelain to create works that are designed for both form and function. 
Woodworker Mya R. Nelson makes both furniture and home goods. Much of her work is inspired by the movement, flow and quirkiness in nature — starting with the natural beauty and shape of the wood.  

Meet our October Featured Artist

We’re excited to welcome Joan Bediz, who is well known for her pastel and acrylic landscapes and still life’s. Her recent work includes depicting people at work, such as in construction sites or restaurants, and pastels of cocktails beginning with “M” – like martinis. Joan’s work is on display until October 31.
Add your Tribute For Day of the Dead 
 

Miranda, our Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) resident skeleton, dressed in a crown by Sarah Fris, a scarf by Ann Schlecht and a pendant by Kathy Bucholska, is back and awaiting your arrival.

She urges you to post a tribute on the “Altar of Remembrance” by adding your own remembrance to honor the lives of friends, family and persons who have gone before us and had a profound influence on your life.

Thank you for shopping local and supporting our community!


Local Colors is following all the necessary steps to keep our members and customers safe during this pandemic. Grab your face mask and stop by for some socially-distant shopping!

Tall Trees

So many of my favorite fall trees have already started to lose their leaves. I was happy to find time to take some photos of the beautiful fall foliage that surrounds us before it was too late.

Improving the Quality of Our Sleep

Given the problems with conventional soporifics, medical scientists have been exploring other ways to improve sleep by targeting the endocannabinoid system (ECS). As the primary homeostatic regulator of human physiology, theECSplays a major role in the sleep-wake cycle and other circadian processes.

Italian scientist Vicenzo DiMarzo summarized the broad regulatory function of the endocannabinoid system in the phrase “Eat, sleep, relax, protect and forget.”

How we fall asleep, stay asleep, wake up, and remain awake is part of an internal biological process regulated by our circadian rhythms and our endocannabinoid system. Circadian rhythms govern a diverse array of actions in the body, including hormone production, heart rate, metabolism, and when to go to sleep and wake up.

The way we fall asleep, stay asleep, wake up, and remain awake is regulated by our circadian rhythms and our endocannabinoid system.

It’s as if we have an internal biochemical timer or clock…

This defies all teh rules about having a neat tidy home and only encourages you to make you kitchen look like a sloppy mess.

Just apss on this horrific idea.

As it started to sprinkle on Saturday  at sunset thought the sunset would fade.  Well it did really fast but there was a short period of time that sunset gave us a beauty of a sight.
