Gloucester Smiles on the other side of the Camera
Sometimes Gloucester Smiles ends up on the other side of the camera. A wonderful couple from Kings Mountain North Carolina sent me a photo they took of me at the Breakwater. One of the most enjoyable part of The Gloucester Smiles series is the wonderful and open people I get to meet, from Gloucester and from other parts of the country/world.
Thank you to all that have participated in the series.

Creating a 360° Image for Google Earth
These two gentlemen were creating a 360° Image for Google Earth of Gloucester’s Fisherman’s Memorial. Photos were taken of the memorial every 4 inches. I estimated that it took them approximately 1 1/2 hours to complete the task. They are sub contractors for Google Earth, and the images they took may appear in about a month on Google Earth.
The above images were at about 5:30 PM the one below was taken an hour later on my way back from my walk.
Below are captures from the current Google Earth images of the Fisherman’s Memorial

The Latest From NSAA
Evelyn Dunphy Watercolor October 1, 2 and 3, 2017 10am-4pm Exploration of Color!
IMAGE ~ AUGUST 3, 2017 ~ 11PIRATES ~
This workshop will be an exploration of color and how we may broaden our understanding of its use in bringing our concepts into reality. Each painting deserves its own palette. We want to understand what color can do, what it does sometimes without our conscious decision about it, and how by understanding some of the interactions between colors, we can use that power to make our paintings more alive, and especially, more unique. No one else will make the same decisions or mixtures that you do. We can all learn the same notes, but the song won’t be the same when I sing it as it will when you do.www.evelyndunphy.com Register here http://www.nsarts.org
