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 →So the days work before me a week ago was what one one would call a bust. Actually, it was a weeks worth of set backs and fiascoes, some my doing by not paying attention to time three years ago, some just the luck of the draw. The week ended on a better note and […]
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 →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 →I made this drawing while on a ferry that was circling around the Morgan as she was on one of her first trial runs after being restored. The last wooden whaling ship in the U.S. is really a big deal in New England. And for the whole world too! Her 38th voyage will be dedicated […]
View post →Last Sunday I traveled with the Dalvero artists to witness (and draw) the launch of the Charles W. Morgan, the only surviving wooden whale ship in the world. (If you remember, we currently have an exhibit of art documenting her restoration and history at the seaport – see it at www.dalveromystic.com.)Â A launch means that […]
View post →Spent a weekend with Veronica, Margaret, and the Dalvero members in Mystic. It was nice to the see our show again and I started working on a new project. —Dominick
View post →Above is a small lino-cut I had done at the South Street Seaport titled Point of Entry…into the melting pot. Â Thought it was kind of appropriate given the occasion this holiday weekend, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! May the best of life’s offering in this great land we call home fill yours with peace and abundance. […]
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 →Sorry about the delay in posting this morning. It was one of those mornings where I knew there was something I misplaced in my head. It wasn’t too long before I realized it was Time!! Above is a thumbnail I recently did in preparation for a fiber art piece I’m working on. It’s for an […]
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 →Another piece from time spent color’en with water down at the seaport last week. Happy Sunday! -Michele
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 🙂
