Pastel Workshop with Gabrielle Barzaghi at Rocky Neck Cultural Center
July 19, 20 and 21, 10 am – 3 pm
This is an intensive three-day workshop that explores traditional and contemporary approaches to drawing with chalk pastels. There will be an ongoing conversation about color (observed and expressive), formal and technical drawing concerns, and meaning and metaphor as it relates to our work. There will be demos, critiques, and lots of one-on-one attention. Participants should have basic drawing skills. If you love to draw and would like to learn how to use pastels, or would like to brush up on your pastel technique and try new things, this would be a great workshop to take. Painters will find this medium a welcome addition to their studio practice.
Artist and Educator Gabrielle Barzaghi is a Senior Lecturer at New England School of Art and Design at Suffolk University and has taught college level drawing since 1980. You may see her work at www.gabriellebarzaghi.com
Cost: RNAC members $300, Non-members $330
Details: Minimum enrollment 5 people, maximum 8. A supply list will be provided. Students must bring their own drawing boards. Easels are provided.
To sign up or for more information, contact Gabrielle Barzaghi at gb@gabriellebarzaghi.com

Alma’s Art & Antiques
She said she wasn’t coming back this year. We didn’t believe it. So here she is, back again for another season on Rocky Neck in her new location (which is actually an old location that she was in years ago – Alma likes to move around). You can find Alma McLaughlin this year at her new Alma’s Art & Antiques location at 75 Rocky Neck Ave #15 (next to The Rudder Restaurant in the space that was previously Kathy Archer’s White Bird Gallery). Check out the ever-changing collection of beautiful art, jewelry, furnishings, knicknacks, etc. that she has. She also has a wonderful space on the patio in back available for adults and children to paint and create.

Help Find Missing Buddha
Brenda Malloy is asking for help in finding the Buddha statue that disappeared from the front lawn of her shop, IMAGINE, on Rocky Neck, sometime yesterday. Brenda’s mother gave her the statue 11 years ago when she first opened her shop, and it has adorned her front lawn ever since.
I’m not sure how someone walks off with a 50lb 18″ high cement statue in the middle of the day, but they did. If you saw anything, please let Brenda know.
I don’t know what is going on that people think they can just walk up and take someone else’s property like that.

Did You Know? (National Sushi Day)
That June 18th is National Sushi Day? There is no other place to be on June 18th than Madfish Wharf for their amazing sushi. But you don’t have to wait until the 18th. Go to Madfish Grille any time (Tuesday through Sunday) for lunch or dinner of the best sushi you’ve ever had. Check out Sushi Chef Jordan holding a tray of his amazing surf and turf with steak and lobster.
Sushi not your thing? I went a couple of nights ago and being a perpetual seeker of the perfect burger, I had to try their’s and I have to say, it was possibly the best burger I’ve ever had. Perfectly charbroiled and dripping with cheese and carmelized bacon and onions. And doesn’t that softshell crab sandwich look amazing?

World Famous Deviled Egg Competition this Sunday at Mug Up
This is not to be missed. If you haven’t experienced a GMG Mug Up Food Competition at Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery, you have been missing something big.
It is time for the World Famous GMG Biennial Deviled Egg Competition. Those who would like to have their special deviled eggs included in the competition, be featured on the blog, and go down in deviled egg history, just bring ‘em on Sunday, June 9th at 9:15 am at Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery, 77 Rocky Neck Ave., Gallery 3. All those masterful in the art of deviled egg making are welcome. Beware, I did not enter my world famous deviled eggs in the last competition to give people a fair chance. Not so this year – I’ll be there with my eggs and will show no mercy. Gigi Mederos has already started posturing, as she wants to go home with the ribbon again this year. We’ll just see about that Ms. Gigi. Haven’t heard a word from Kathy Chapman yet, but she is a strong contender who has a couple of GMG food competition ribbons under her belt.
We’ve assembled a distinguished panel of experienced deviled egg competition judges, including: Joey C., Ed Collard, Paul Morrison, Adam Bolonsky and newcomer, Richard Rosenfeld. If you missed our first GMG Deviled Egg Competition in 2011, or are not sure how the judging works, you can see the distinquished panel at work here https://goodmorninggloucester.wordpress.com/2011/08/22/2011-good-morning-gloucester-deviled-egg-competition/
People who don’t like deviled eggs or are not entering into the competition, feel free to bring along something non-egg related to share for Mug Up. Mug Up is alot of fun and everyone is invited and welcome. Come meet GMG peeps and make some new friends.
