A small drawing of a seamstress I found working on an embroidery in Mystic Seaport in Connecticut. Her focus and grace often reminds me of a treasured measure…when time moved a little slower. – Hope you had a lovely weekend. – Michele
View post →Right now I am not feeling very optimistic about the days work still before me but the above drawing was the start of a bigger project that is on my board right now, literally. This drawing was done last summer, sorry summer 2014—the months are going by so fast, when the Charles W. Morgan returned […]
View post →If you’ve ever been to the Seaport in Mystic Connecticut, then you are sure to remember the cute little red tugboat at the entrance. I’ve been there many times and realized that I never sat down to make a drawing of entrance. Very New England. No frills. A small sign, a red tug and a […]
View post →This is a drawing I made of an “old school” occupation. Old presses are really quite beautiful. And so are the people who are interested in preserving their history. –Despina PS- switched places wth Michele this week. Look for her post on Sunday!
View post →I remember seeing the Morgan, even if I didn’t remember her name, when I was a kid. In fact, I have rather strong memories of the Charles W. Morgan and an old souvenir (does anyone use that word anymore—it does seem perfect for a wooden ship though) from a childhood visit. I even realized recently […]
View post →If all goes as planned the Charles W. Morgan will return home next Wednesday after her 38th and most likely last voyage. Sailing into Mystic will mark an amazing moment. History has been forever changed. I am very fortunate to have been a small part of marking the past few years down in her honor.—Dominick
View post →Another drawing from the Morgan‘s test run two weeks ago. Having seen her without her rigging for a few years as she was being restored, the art and the science of the sails and rigging was that much more profound. Hard to imagine how someone came up with the set up. She is bound for […]
View post →I had the honor of traveling alongside the Charles W. Morgan last week as she made a test run with full rigging and sails. What a difference to when she was on dry dock being restored. She certainly looked at home even if she was just off shore. Looking forward to the next leg of […]
View post →Putting the sails on the masts of the Charles W. Morgan in the port of New London! I can’t wait to go again for the Sea Trials! This has been an amazing reportage event. Actually seeing the Charles W.  Morgan with sails on her 38th Voyage on the sea will be absolutely incredible! Margaret Hurst
View post →As the Charles W. Morgan was being lowered back into the water a few weeks ago, behind the big crowd of supporters and spectators, and as everyone was moving around congratulating everyone else, one man stood quietly watching the ship lower inch by inch over the 18 minutes or so it took for her to […]
View post →As you have probably figured out already last Sunday several of us in the Studio traveled with the Dalvero members to draw the relaunching of the Charles W. Morgan, in Mystic, CT. It has been fantastic to be a small part its history (visit www.dalveromystic.com for more details). As the various speakers made their turn […]
View post →There is no reason I should be late today, my sincere apologies. Another drawing from my weekend up in Mystic. Looking forward to getting back to work.—Dominick
View post →A quick storyboard while on location.—Dominick
View post →I was walking around my neighborhood tonight and walked past all the restaurants with people enjoying meals and drinks. It made me think of enjoying a nice glass of champagne. This is one of the drawings I made for Henri’s Reserve. Margaret Hurst
View post →Restoring a Past, Charting a Future opens April 28th. My wall is drying and the carpenter is working on securing the piece. I’ll let you know how it goes.  —Dominick
View post →The build up to the show at the end of the month has me looking through the material that inspired the final piece that will hand for the next year. If you are near Mystic any time soon, the show should not be missed. —Dominick
View post →It took longer for the drawing to become a drawing than it did for the barrel to become a barrel. That is craftsmanship.
