The Big Fish from deb clarke
This is The Big Fish (a blue faced cichlid we named ‘fat boy’) that hangs in our long narrow hallway. The painting is oil with mixed media on linen, painted in 1995. We had a 35 gallon fish tank. This Big Boy ate every other fish in the tank, including several crayfish, then grew to an amazing size. sometimes i think to sell this, several people have ‘tried it out’ on their wall, for a few years it was displayed at The Bookstore on Main Street in Gloucester. Now, I say hello to Fat Boy everytime i hang a coat, store a painting, or head to the downstairs laundry.
best,
deb.

Art Rock Found! Coincidence?
Last Sunday while driving around the Back Shore I decided to stop at the Elks club Parking lot and Sketch the scene before me on a Rock. Yeah, I know I’m Nuts.
I left it across the street from the Elks Club in the rocks where the Hotel has a sitting area.
I didn’t know my Son was going to bring his friends to the Elks Club to reserve it for their Wedding next year. I posted the Rock I sketched on here on GMG about 11am. I got a phone call at 2:30pm from my son Paul the III telling me they found it. They thought my Son set it up, but he had no idea what I did that morning and I had no idea what he was going to do that day. (Strange ain’t it?) after they reserved the Elks club they walked down the road to where I left the “Art Rock”
Here is the email my son sent me;
Hey Dad, Heres the Picture of them holding the rock. They found it when they walked across from the elks to see where their wedding pictures will be taken. We were all standing around it and tom said “that rock has your name on it” Everyone thought my son Paul set it up. But he did’nt know anything about it. Now that’s a Coincidence! Tom and Joselin are getting married at Good Harbor Beach on labor day 2011 and having the reception at the elks.
Here’s a photo of Tom and his Fiance holding the ROCK. Good Luck Guys!! I hope you enjoy the Rock!

Rockport Middle School Performs Annie This Weekend
Rockport Middle School Performs Annie. This weekend.
The cast of this year’s middle school musical, "Annie," has been hard
at work rehearsing every day after school since the first week of
school. Due to the large number of performers, there will be two
casts: one cast will handle the Thursday night and Saturday matinee
performances and the other will perform on Friday and Saturday nights.
Additionally, our crew members have begun work on our complex,
multi-level set. Putting together this show has been a team effort
involving over 75 middle school students and several high school
student assistant directors, in addition to the support of teachers,
staff, and parents.
Annie is sure to be a production you won’t soon forget, so don’t miss
out! Performances will be October 28 and 29 at 7:00 pm and on October
30 at 2:00 and 7:00 pm. There will be no performances on Sunday the
31st (Halloween). General Admission tickets are $10. Tickets for
students and seniors are $7. For more information, call the middle
school office at 978-546-1250.

SHADOW BOOK
Originally uploaded by debclarke art
I deconstructed the entire sketchbook. i have been hindered by the construction of the sketchbook provided by the sketchbook project. it reminds me too much of school exercise book or a journal. it kept calling for words, and i kept trying to make it into something. anyway, this is the condition on october 9. today, i re-packaged the book.
trying to reconstruct the sketchbook. the book is getting lumpy. people with egg allergies can not handle this book…i’m using egg glair. the book had to stand during the drying process, then the sun turned the page into something else.
perhaps this is a Book of Shadow. the idea resonates with my inner life. i just don’t like the way this looks.
it’s a sketchbook. it should not be precious. it should be of use.
onward.

AHOY there! Here’s the weekly quickie on the Sketchbook Project.
The following images have yet to be added to the sketchbook…..and what is currently new & already adhered is drying….hooray for glue. So there are some images missing. I’ll get to them soon….
Recently, my sketches have ranged from the classic portraits…..
…..the to the classically influenced oddity……
…..to the straight up weird.
I don’t really know why I always draw things growing out of my character’s heads (???). I suppose I want to add a visual twist on what would otherwise be just another portrait.
The lower right, the pink lady surrounded by blue, is based on an image I saw on ffffound.com, which is an AMAZING site for visual inspiration, FYI. Originally, she was suppose to be depicted as a woman underwater, but with the way the dress is shaped, she looks like she is part of giant heart. This realization was actually pointed out by Josh. Naturally, I’m delighted by this….however, now I’m afraid that all I draw will start being a combination platter of portraiture and anatomical parts. Frankin-pictures. Perfect for Halloween I suppose? Sweet.
