Another drawing of the Charles W. Morgan as part of her 38th Voyage. This drawing was drawn while the Morgan was docked at the New London pier. It’s such a reward to watch the hands on process of everything that has been done for the restoration and sailing of the Charles W. Morgan. Margaret Hurst

View post →China has always fascinated me. This is a detail from a really REALLY large drawing I did on location in Epcot’s China Pavilion. Check in next week to see the whole drawing. Did you know … 30% of Chinese adults still live with their parents. Approximately 200 million people in China live on less than $1 a […]

View post →A few years back on this very beautiful last day of spring I found myself looking at the masterful mid-century artist Robert Rauschenberg ALOT. I’m always in awe of how he created such fusion between type and image. I find it incredible and exciting …and yes (for many who know me), he’s genuinely left an indelible impression on all my work. Above is a poster […]

While going through some archival files this week I found this study done on location a few years back. Looking at it, it’s so interesting and exciting to see what still belongs to me when I approach a drawing now and what’s been worked thru since then. – Michele

For this drawing I was standing on the dock but very close to where they were added the sails on the jibs. It was a strange and incredible point of view. This particular drawing is of the first sail attached. […]

Two weeks ago on a GORGEOUS Sunday afternoon we took the boys to a local park for some fun. If you saw last weeks post I mentioned everyone was hanging out without a care in the world. Here is another observation I found subtly interesting. An easy Sunday moment we’ve all seen but have maybe overlooked. No […]

Actually seeing the Charles W.  Morgan with sails on her 38th Voyage on the sea will be absolutely incredible! Margaret Hurst

View post →Last Sunday while the weather was SPECTACULAR! we took the boys to a local park for some fun. There were plenty of people skirting about enjoying the moment. The body language between these two was so casual, so comfortable, just like the day itself. I couldn’t help wonder what they were saying. Maybe it was something like, […]
View post →Dean, one of the many workers and volunteers at Mystic Seaport who put in many, many hours of manual labor to get the Charles W. Morgan ready to sail this summer. She’s currently in New London, being fitted out for her journey through New England this summer. Very exciting! You can see her voyage itinerary HERE. posted […]
