I love “So You Think You Can Dance” and have enjoyed all four seasons of it! This is their best one yet. Every dancer is so versatile. There are hip hoppers doing amazing ballroom dances and contemporary dancers doing some sick hip hop! Check out this performance last night by Mark and Chelsie who are [...]

I love to play in my sketchbook. I’ve had so many shows lately that the pressure has been on to turn out finished pieces, but sometimes I think this is how I like to spend my time the most. It enables me to test drive ideas, relax, and enjoy the “doing” of art.
The pears in the shallow bowl are ink sketches, with acrylic washes laid over while the ink was too wet. I get impatient. Below the pears are my new bottle of Sennelier Walnut Ink, and a little inkwell I got in the gift shop at Sturbridge Village. It’s made there in the pottery shop, and it works really well!
The apple and pear on the facing page are from the Brewster Farmer’s Market. They are painted in Golden Fluid Acrylics, with no preliminary drawing; I just went in straight with paint—always my favorite painting method! For the pear, I experimented with the Irridescent Gold Deep, using it to mix my greens, and with ochre. The shimmer is quite subtle when combined with the other colors. W
My new art glass pear shaped pendants are a fun variation on my standard drop pendant design. They are side-drilled and can be strung on leather cord or incorporated into necklace designs.

Emerson Hart - If You're Gonna LeaveIt's new artist time! Well I wouldn't really call Emerson Hart new to music, but he is no longer in the rock group Tonic who's hit was "If You Could Only See". He has decided to go solo and is getting to release his debut album "Cigarettes and Gasoline" later on this year. Here is his first single "If You're Gonna Leave", I'm really loving this song. It's midtempo ballad, with a great flow, and good chorus. check it out!DL: Emerson Hart - If You're Gonna LeaveDL Link 2: HERE(RIPPED BY ME! THANKS ARE APPRECIATED)
We just got some pieces in from Mark O'Malley today. So I am posting a few of them for you to see. I have also posted pieces from Crystal Place.These pieces are part of her estate and the sale of them will help with funeral expenses. As you can see Crystal was a true artist and extremely meticulous in the work she did. She will be missed and was a true asset to the artist community. I expect we will be getting more pieces from estate over the next few weeks. It is Rockhopper's honor to be able to display these pieces. It was our honor to have known her.
