CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS 

Painting from the Heart – Cultivating Intuitive Vision
with Color, Imagery, Print & Collage: by Sigrid Olsen

June 13-17, 2011

This workshop will incorporate a number of techniques Sigrid has developed to allow free and spontaneous use of color and print in order to express one’s personal life vision. The goal is to open up to possibility and leave each participant inspired to leave all preconceptions behind and get on with the business of highly creative living. The mood will be equally upbeat and introspective, technically instructional while reaching deeper to unleash inner imagination and self-expression. We will use a three part media: painting, print and collage. There will be a focus on color mixing, color theory and self expression through color utilizing permanent brilliant watercolor inks on paper. In combination with the watercolor under-painting, there will be a print component, employing hand-carved rubber print blocks. The workshop culminates in a collage using all the elements practiced over the past few days. The notion of inspiration will be explored through guided meditation, audio-visual presentation and open discussion.

Dead of Winter at Inn Magnolia

Have you ever wanted to go on a ghost hunt?
Now’s your chance!

On Saturday January 15th, from 8pm to midnight, join author, radio personality, and paranormal investigator Ron Kolek and members of the New England Ghost Project for an investigation of Inn Magnolia. The elegant mansion has a history of unusual occurrences and many visitors have witnessed strange events.

Sign up for this special event and you will become part of the NEGP team as they attempt to collect evidence of paranormal activity at the inn. An initial investigation on Halloween revealed that the spirits there were more than willing to communicate but reluctant to disclose their true identities. Who haunts the inn? Is it one of the former residents, a sailor looking for a lost love, a struggling artist, an ailing child? Or is it something more sinister?

Join Ron and the rest of the NEGP crew for an unbelievable night as they and you attempt to unravel the mystery of Inn Magnolia. The price of this investigation is only $60 and space is extremely limited, so sign up today at www.neghostproject.com/magnolia.htm or for more information call 978-455-6678.

Overnight accommodations are available from the Inn for $20 off the already very low winter rates. Call 978-525-3642 or go to http://www.innmagnolia.com for room reservations.

Rocky Neck Plunge and Art Rock Kindness

Posted on by God's Morning

photo collage of Rocky Neck Plunge New Years Day 2011Did you know?

That today was the annual New Year’s Day Rocky Neck Plunge sponsored by Imagine of Rocky Neck.  If you missed it, you can see a little of it here.  If you were there, now you can relive it (assuming you’ve warmed up enough to want to). Great fun was had by all.  You can click on the link below to see some video, since I haven’t figured out how to embed it into the post yet.

Also, when Paul Frontiero posted his last Art Rock location at Good Harbor Beach, for the first time, I knew where it was (along with at least 5,000 other people).  I wanted to go look for it, but the storm had started, so I let it go and went out shooting around Annisquam instead.  Today at the Rocky Neck Plunge, Ed Collard, who had gone and found the Good Harbor Beach Art Rock, presented it to me as a gift.  Ed and Paul, may your kindness be returned to you a hundredfold.  I have to say that the people of Cape Ann have proven in my short time here, to be the kindest people I have ever met.  Here is my precious Art Rock.

Thanks for all the hard work and effort that you put in for  Good Morning Gloucester. I’m happy I subscribed.
I don’t know how photos are posted on the site, but last August a good friend and I happened upon a smashing Rocky Neck block party.
I randomly snapped some pictures of kids hoola hooping incessantly with bright, neon hoops. I could only think "boy! will they sleep well tonight."
I attach are some fyi.
Thanks
