That in addition to being a wonderful painter of Gloucester, past and present, factual and imagined, L.A. Dahlmer (Larry) was a shipbuilder for almost 40 years, and worked on the restoration of two of Howard Blackburn’s boats? After spending almost forty years building and repairing boats on Smith Cove, he has spent the last seven painting full time. His first work was a 4‘x18’ mural of Smith Cove, which hangs on the building that houses his gallery at 15 Rocky Neck Ave. He then proceeded to paint 106 oil paintings, concentrating on showing Gloucester’s history. You will find Larry’s gallery and studio on the right just after the parking lot as you enter Rocky Neck. Larry is a fascinating, salty character, who you definitely want to take the time to visit, and see (and buy) his work, which is very affordable. His website is www.ladarts.com
