This photo is part of the Sketchbook Project that my owner decided to enter. The project is keeping her busy and she says it is quite interesting. What is the Sketchbook Project? It is a traveling event whereby you enter the sketchbook that you purchased from the event after you have filled it up with art.  Then in January you send it in all finished. Then it begins to travel around the United States to various libraries and then comes home and is housed in the Brooklyn library. (wonder if they have dogs in the library?) In her Sketch Book, she is including pencil sketches, watercolor paintings, favorite quotes with watercolor background and recycled watercolor paintings that really didn’t work for her. Personally, I would have welcome the dropped pieces and chased them around. Nope, now she is going “green” and trying recycle everything. I will still hope for the “crumbs” that I can eat or use as a toy.
This particular collage piece above is one of those “recycled babies” ~ I looked real closely and laughed because in the center it looks like one of those “Where’s Waldo” types or even one of the guards at Buckingham Palace. Look closely and let me know if you see it also? My owner can get real weird sometimes; yet you know I love her and sit and watch faithfully what she creates. She thinks I am sleeping and that is okay I will keep watching. She is soooooooo much fun to watch.
Now, my owner has decided that I can be the writer of this blog because I am always snuggling up to her laptop and she says I interrupt her when she is typing so now I get to do the typing. Boy, what I get for being so faithful and loving. Yep, I get treats, walks, hugs and to be near her most of the time. She sometimes goes out and leaves me home to take care of the house. I don’t mind, I love her and I know she loves me. So, I try to give her good “mojo” so that she will be happy creating and creating wonderful creations from her soul. You are probably laughing that a “dog” is writing this but I am. I am a real smart Yorkie; not just a cutie, you know.
Hugs and namaste,

PS. Do you know what namaste means?

This Weekends Workshops at The Cape Ann Healing Center

hi there

We have two things happening this weekend!

1. Osho Meditation : Nov 13th with Silvie Lockerova – Reiki and Matrix Quantum Healing Therapist

Saturday, November 13th 1pm – 5pm; $25
 
What is Osho Meditation? For western people it is hard to meditate as people do in East, to sit still. Osho Meditations are therapeutic meditative techniques, using active motions and specific breathing or repetitive movements through which a person spontaneously brings self into the meditative state. Osho Meditations revibrate “the sleeping energy” and helps to put an individual into a present time.  Osho techniques are dynamic forms of meditation, involving safe, active physical movement.
To prepare for these meditations: eat light food the morning before the workshop (fruits and veg).  Bring a scarf, a light snack and plenty of water.  Wear sport clothes and bring extra sport clothes to change.
To pre-register call 978-282-1191 x 1 or email silvielocker@hotmail.com for more information.

Gloucester Zen- Good Harbor Beach 11/9/10

Minimal Editing, Minimal Commentary, Just a Slice Of Time In Gloucester

W I N D Y

Sundays Art Rock Found!

Sorry, Mr. Morrision your Scientific Theory of the Rock Jumping back into the Sea has been disproved.

Email from the Finder;

“I just wanted to let you know that I found “your” Good Harbor Beach Rock and am just delighted with it.  I follow Good Morning Gloucester daily.  When I saw the rock on the site Sunday morning I just knew I had to have it.  So, my husband and I raced off to Good Harbor Beach because we knew just where it was perched and we believe we had an advantage because of the time change.  What makes this rock even more special to me is that I have worked in the house in which you sketched on the rock for the past 23 years.  Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to have such a special piece of art in my home.  I look forward to finding more of your Art Rocks.  Thank you”

The Finder didn’t give me her name. She’s welcomed to leave a comment if she likes.

The building in the left where it says “PICTURE” is the former Gray’s Hardware building which has recently been torn down and rebuilt. You can see the same window frames  in 1910 as it was 100 years later in 2010.

Right back at YA!, Ed Collard

Ed Collard’s an all around nice guy and does some great stuff that goes unnoticed for the City of Gloucester.

BUT!

He can “Bust’em” with the Best! But. Can he take it?

Here’s a not to fictional typical conversation between Joey(the female character in this movie) and Ed Collard (the man sitting at the desk). I’ve personally witnessed a few of these.
