Mirror, Mirror on the Wall  - by Molly DeLaney, Psy.D.
 
Actually make that mirror, mirror in my head.....
 
About a decade ago, scientists discovered a type of neuron which previously had not even been imagined. These neurons are "what some consider both one of the greatest drivers of human progress and one of the prime discoveries in recent neuroscience: mirror neurons. These are neurons in key parts of our brain – the premotor cortex, centers for language, empathy, pain – that fire not only as we perform a certain action but when we watch someone else perform that action. The discovery of this mechanism, made about a decade ago, suggests that everything we watch someone else do, we do as well, on a mental scale." (David Dobbs, Scientific American Mind, June 2006).
 
 I have learned the "see one, do one, teach one" method. 
Attending a workshop such as the one we will have on Monhegan Island, will give you the opportunity to explore and strengthen your skills through the marriage of painting and visualization.
 
Mirror neurons help us learn by integrating new information through observation, a key part of what Jacq provides through her demonstrations. 
 
Visualization most likely also engages the mirror neurons, thus enhancing the incorporation of new approaches to our painting while also encouraging creatively developing your own style. 
 
And, everyday you will have the opportunity to "do" by painting at gorgeous sites all around Monhegan. 
 
Lastly, by being part of a community of painters, you can "learn" by seeing how everyone's style is unique to that individual; thus, encouraging the further development of your own style.
 
If you want to jump-start your creativity, join us on magical Monhegan in July !

About Monhegan Island Maine

Monhegan  is an island in the Gulf of Maine located in Lincoln County, Maine, United States. A plantation, a minor civil division in the state of Maine falling between unincorporated area and a town, it is located about 12 nautical miles (22 km) off the mainland. The population was 64 at the 2020 census. The plantation comprises its namesake island and the uninhabited neighboring island of Manana. The island is accessible by scheduled boat service from Boothbay Harbor, New Harbor and Port Clyde. Visitors' cars are not allowed on the island.It was designated a National Natural Landmark for its coastal and island flora in 1966.

The beginnings of the art colony on Monhegan date to the mid-19th century; by 1890, it was firmly established. Two of the early artists in residence from the 1890s, William Henry Singer (1868–1943) and Martin Borgord (1869–1935), left Monhegan to study at the Académie Julian in 1901. Among many early members who found inspiration on the island were summer visitors from the New York School of Art and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, such as Robert Henri, Frederick Judd Waugh, George Bellows, Edward Hopper and Rockwell Kent.

Later members of the artist colony have included Jay Hall Connaway, Abraham Bogdanove, Andrew Winter, Reuben Tam, Frances Kornbluth, Elena Jahn, Lynne Drexler, and Jamie Wyeth.] The 150-foot (50 m) northside cliffs at Blackhead have drawn the interest of Monhegan artists, including Kent, Hopper, and Kornbluth. The Monhegan Museum celebrated more the continuing draw of the island for artists in a 2014 exhibit entitled, "The Famous and the Forgotten: Revisiting Monhegan's Celebrated 1914 Art Exhibition

 Testimonials 

"Your Monhegan Island Workshops are pure magic. The experiences you created, the learnings and freedom you give to “open up and be” changed our lives. Thank you, forever".                                                                                         

Colleen Townsley Brinkmann 

 

Spending time on Monhegan was a life changing event because I could be steeped in artistic history and growth. You, Charlie, and Molly were extremely generous, sharing stories, teaching, and coaching us at places made famous by artists of the past. There is so much more I could share suffice to say I hope to be with you again this year. I believe Suzanne is also attempting to revisit beautiful Monhegan Island to join the workshop. Thanks for making such a difference the way you do.

Dear JBI took your five day oil painting workshop on Monhegan Island. The way you taught us outside by working the tones of the beautiful landscape opened my eyes to be a better painter. 
I shall always cherish this week and the comradery of the other painters in the group. Thank you so much and I am interested in the watercolor workshop sometime.                                                                                 
Best of luck in the future, Rich Coleman
