Looking for the perfect color for your bathroom? A little gift to bring to a party? A piece of art you never knew you had to have? Then you need to stop by The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AnthiDrawingRoom/">Drawing Room</a> in New Bedford on North Water Street. Anthi Frangiadis, the owner and an architect has an incredible eye, offers design services and is a stockist for <a href="https://www.farrow-ball.com/en-us">Farrow and Ball</a> paint. She reps local artists and also has a wonderful line up of events this winter.<br />
Below some of my art hangs with <a href="https://caseygunschel.com/">Casey Gunshe</a>l's wallpaper and leather wall hangings. The watercolor feather and Swarovski install I did for the <a href="https://www.bostondesign.com/">Boston Design C</a>ommunity's <a href="https://headinghometodinner.org/">fund raiser</a>, is available to purchase as individual hanging pieces.<br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some psychologists use the word <i>sehnsucht</i> to represent thoughts and feelings about all facets of life that are unfinished or imperfect, paired with a yearning for ideal alternative experiences. It has been referred to as “life’s longings”; or an individual’s search for happiness while coping with the reality of unattainable wishes.</span></div>

I just put a new series up on Etsy titled River Lentement. A french tern used in music to describe slowly but surely. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Going to Block Island, or sometimes called New Shoreham, in the summer is like visiting a dreamy children's book. Gentle hills, sweet but dramatic cliffs softened with sleepy dunes and beaches. You can get around entirely on a bike. And though you can see so much of the island from the top of it's hills and victorian porches there is the good kind of aloneness that seems to happen everywhere you go. Paintings inspired by our last trip to the island.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I know I know, it's really coming in under the wire for Christmas shopping but you do what you can do. My motto around this time of year is, if I'm not finding joy in doing it, I don't do it. Opening my little Etsy art shop was pure joy. Intimidated for way too long, I found going through the body of work I've had professionally shot to get up on a site some day, was pure delight. I don't let myself step out of the process to judge in anyway while I'm painting because I start down that awful path of "will this painting be loved by anyone else?" I would, however love your feedback on the site, pricing, descriptions, etc. My little shipping elf tells me if we get an order in by the Dec. 17-18 you can most likely get it by Christmas Eve. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Just a reminder I have two etsy sites. One for hats and one for art. For art you search for alyncarlsonart or just go <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AlynCarlsonArt?ref=hdr_shop_menu">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'm prepping for <a href="http://southcoastartists.org/">South Coast Artist Studio Tour</a> which takes place two weekends for me this year. Stop by July 19+ 20 or August 16+17 for some color therapy. What has been interesting for me is the feedback from people with a gallery visit and the tour visit is very different. I think people feel less intimidated and ready to share their reactions to my work when it's in my back yard. It might be the hay on the floor, plywood on the walls, or maybe it's the wine, but I love visiting with you. Come by.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of my favorite projects in the last few months was creating the new logo and packaging design for a great company, 600lb Gorilla Cookies. Frozen balls of pure love. Real cream, real butter, real chocolate chips make these easy to pull off as home made. They sell them at Walmart, Stop and Shop, BJ's and are so worth picking up. My grandson's first greeting to me when he walks in my front door is "Got cookies?" You can make friends with the gorilla in the apron <a href="https://www.facebook.com/600lbgorillas">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Agnes Martin would have been one hundred today. A Canadian by birth, she spent time in NY and settled in New Mexico. She lived a quiet life, supported local school projects in Taos where she lived, and she painted. I love these two portraits of her, seated in similar chairs. When I look at her later work, the delicate palette, perfectly proportioned and balanced grids, I hear 3-4 people, sometimes just 1 or 2, each humming there own long lovely note note. She liked to sip martinis, too. My kind of lady.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'm so grateful that I have clients that trust me and actually pay me to make beautiful images and designs for them. When I get to make this beauty with Paul, it's even better. Lisa Howard of Local Pottery is one of those clients. The new Local Pottery website, a collaboration between <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulclancy/sets/">Paul Clancy</a>, <a href="http://www.redbeetstudio.com/">Peter Nassoit</a> and myself, can be seen by going </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://localpottery.com/">here.</a></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> The launch coincides with the sale of the year for Local Pottery. An amazing open studio event with handmade gifts you shouldn't miss if you're in the Boston Area. You can go </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://localpottery.com/open-studio-sale">here</a></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> to get the scoop on hours, etc. Below are the images from the shoot we did just last night for the home page, which changes seasonally. Just the right combination of an outdoor fire, a two hundred year old wrap my friend John Hegnauer gave me, an indigo tea bowl and the last 45 minutes of sunlight that was magic.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">My friend, Deborah Forman really knows how to teach artists. Years ago, she was my daughter's art teacher and helped get Brin ready to apply to art school. I was on the search committee to find a teacher for the Westport high school and when Deborah came in and showed a few lesson plans it was hard not to jump out of our chairs and scream YES! She's recently written a book called Paint Lab which is a collection of 52 exercises based on practicing artists work, materials and techniques. The lessons are short and manageable for a quick change of approach but have depth enough to carry you far in another direction if you're so inclined. It's a great book for new or experienced artists and the book includes exercises based on the work of Paul Klee, Helen Frankenthaler, Gerhard Richter, Frida Kahlo, Tom Sgouros, Neal T Walsh and I'm honored to say, Alyn Carlson. It's published by the same folks that are publishing my hat book, Quarry Press and my fabulous editor, Mary Ann Hall edited it. Check it out on Amazon, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1592537820?ie=UTF8&tag=httpwwwgoodco-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1592537820&SubscriptionId=1MGPYB6YW3HWK55XCGG2">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Alex Chen, my son-law, has made another thing of beauty to delight the eyes and ears. He's created an animated visual representation of the Beach Boy's You Still Believe In Me. Alex transcribed the harmonies note for note, and then wrote the code to render as it played. He got the idea from church bells. Just like the size of a bell corresponds to the pitch of the note it produces, Alex took circles to represent each note in the song. Cool thing is, the Beach Boy's song was inspired by a church choir. You can read the write up <a href="http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-07/30/beach-boys-visualisation">here at Wired</a> and experience <a href="http://vimeo.com/69633166">Alex's art here.</a> I could watch and listen to this one for a whole afternoon.</span></div>

In 1975, Nicolas Nixon, a professor of photography at Mass Art, photographed his wife and her three sisters. They have continued the tradition for 36 years. When people are captured without a forced smile we get to see so much more. I love seeing the body language that shows the obvious affection these sisters have for each other through the years.
