Watercolor and pen and ink  and charcoal drawings of whales and their tails. Just thumbnailing a little and playing around with ideas for the Dalvero/Mystic project on whaling and whales.
View post →Just last week, the Dalvero Academy show at Mystic Seaport, Restoring a Past, Charting a Future, came down. Above is one of a series of knot drawings I made that didn’t make the show. It’s a “whale coil” – the certain way a line needs to be coiled so that when the whale shows up […]
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 →Figure it might be fun to “hop on board” with Dom & Eddie and share a detail from a drawing for a fiber-art piece I’ve been working hard on these days. All in preparation for an exciting group show titled, Restoring a Past, Charting a Future opening in a few short weeks.  – Michele
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 → Another portrait from a golden day at Mystic Seaport this past spring. While that good ol’ salt of the earth kinda guy I shared with you last week tended his dogwatch singing those beautiful shanty tales he was accompanied by a seamstress who (like I) couldn’t get enough of the treasured moment, Michele
View post →Mystic Seaport is one of those places that uniquely changes every time you visit. There’s an unpredictable quality that’s rare and wonderful. It should be a must on everyone’s bucket list! Below’s a quick preliminary study for a logo design.-Michele medium: pastel and graphite
View post →This is a straight pen-and-ink drawing I made at a folk music festival this past June. I love drawing, and sometimes it is so fun just to draw for no reason except out of love 🙂
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.
