> NORMAN cont'd
> looking west … back to the city … under the viaduct (crossing  
> over the boulevard to the World Trade Center) ... back to the city.  
> This has a great look and is going to be a very good painting.
> Norm will be at the Seaport Gallery for the South Boston Open  
> Studios' weekend Saturday and Sunday, November 4 and 5. Drop by …  
> there will be special offers on prints and framing. (Dan will be at  
> his studio in the Distillery on H and 2nd streets.)
> Norman paints everyday at the gallery and has been very busy lately  
> with special commissions as well as producing his great new works.  
> Many patrons familiar with Norman's style notice a subtle change in  
> his paintings as he exploits variations of color, lighting and the  
> atmosphere.
> Norm is also executing murals with youth from the “Young at  
> Arts” group at the South Boston Community Health Center. He is  
> currently mentoring two of the youth as he is painting the view of  
> the front of the Health Center on the outside back wall of the  
> Health Center. Don't ask … that's just what he's doing.

> DAN is back from Sicily. He spent the last two and a half weeks of  
> September painting, touring and eating.
> “Good grief.” He says, “Did I eat. Those Sicilians have no  
> mercy. It's like … desserts for breakfast … spaghetti for lunch  
> (although they call it pasta) … and everything else for dinner …  
> and all the time with these tiny cups of coffee they call espresso  
> (which they think tastes good). A typical sit down would include  
> pasta and anti-pasta. The anti-pasta would be 37 or 38 plates of  
> veggies, and chicken, and fish and whatever ...  sliced, and  
> drizzled, and baked, and fried, and grilled, and steamed in every  
> conceivable way. I keep thinking of the old joke … 'If you eat  
> pasta and then anti pasta would you get hungry all over again?' And  
> guess what? I think I did … I came back eight pounds heavier”.
> “And then there were more 'desserts'. It was like being locked in  
> Mike's Pastry in the North End for one of their holiday weekends.”
> “And oh yes … there was the wine. They had this wine place down  
> the road … like a gas station. You'd go in with an old gallon  
> plastic jug (or any other container) and they would fill'er up. Now  
> that's the way to go.. What a country!”
> Dan says his day was simple and rewarding. “Mornings I got up at  
> 7 / 7:30 and painted from the terrace of the villa. (See the  
> painting 'From the Terrace' below left.) The painting shows the  
> view from the terrace with the Tyrrhenian Sea (actually part of the  
> Mediterranean) and the islands in the near distant. Afternoons I  
> toured many towns and villages throughout the Messina district …  
> and in the evenings it was food and … food, and food, and food,  
> and wine, and wine, and wine. And then after two and a half weeks  
> they told me I had to come home. Bummer!”
> He is planning to exhibit his Sicilian watercolors in a one-man  
> show in January.
    ALSO … Before he left for Sicily Dan was contracted to  
paint the official commemorative poster for the 'Medal of Honor  
Society's annual convention held in Boston in September. See the  
painting above. The original is on display at the gallery.
>
> OTHER PAINTERS: Norman and Dan invited other painters represented  
> by the gallery to a roundtable art marketing session last week. The  
> gallery was filled with enthusiasm and fine ideas to better serve  
> our patrons. More sessions are planned and these concepts will be  
> developed and put into play very soon.
>
> THURSDAY ART TALKS: The Gallery Art Talks have resumed and will be  
> held each Thursday evening from 7 to 8:30. The guests will include  
> painters, writers, sculptors, poets, musicians and performers ...  
> each demonstrating their talents and holding a dialog with our  
> visitors.
