Gloucester Sketchbook Project

 “Something Sketchy” Update

Something Sketchy Welcomes New Member: Carol McKenna 

Carol McKenna

Hello, World ~

So glad you could stop by for my new artistic adventure. I am so glad to be part of this wonderful team, SomethingSketchy. Everyone is working hard and sharing their creativity. When asked to join this adventure, I was so excited and naturally rather anxious. Me? They want me to join them! Well, here I am  and will be sharing my artistic journey.

The latest event is the Sketchbook Project Tour 2011 which is a traveling art event. When you join, you receive a blank journal and are to fill it with your sketches by mid January and then send it in to join the Art House Co-op in Brooklyn NY. From there your sketchbook travels around the country and then returns home to the Brooklyn Library where the journals will be housed for viewing. Yep, you have to let go of your “art baby” and send her into the world. Mama Mia! “Here I go again.” Another brave adventure or as Helen Keller is quoted as saying “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.”

 

When I enrolled in the Sketchbook Project, I didn’t particulary like any of the themes they offered so I went with a random selection and the theme I now have is “Make mine a double” ~ As I post different page projects you will see sketches on this theme. It is a theme that can be portrayed in many ways and is, in fact, providing me with the opportunity to expand my imagination and creativity. Just another one those “life hurdles”.

Hugs and namaste,

Carol McKenna

“Art, Rocks!” State Fish Pier 10/16/2010

Posted on by capeannpainter

I let one loose today!  I mean an “Art, Rock!”

Down at the State Fish Pier at 11:45am.

I think it will take awhile to find because it’s cold and windy, not too many people walking around.

Here are two photo clues.

The Sketchbook Project: My First Entry 10/10/10

Posted on by capeannpainter

Ok, What better day than 10/10/10 to make my first entry into my Sketchbook Project. I picked my favorite place to sit and watch the waterfront work, Nature change by the minute and meditate. This is the view looking straight out from my parking space today.  I may add some color to it with Gouache paint.  After the Sun went down I walked around and took some photos for GMG of the area at nighttime.
