Secret Set List is done ~ Watch for the GMG Float and Listen for your favorite Local Music

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

The official GMG Float music set list is done — and features almost all local music (with a few non-local party songs thrown in).  We’d post it here, but we’ve been sworn to secrecy!  So be sure to listen when you’re at the Horribles Parade and check our post tomorrow for the complete list.

And don’t forget the FREE CONCERT on the BOULEVARD before and after the parade leading all the way up to the fireworks at 9:30 featuring The Runaround Sound!

We’ll see you there!

Paul George Returns to Rocky Neck

Posted on by God's Morning

Artist, Paul George has returned to Rocky Neck.  He and Kate Morse are now located at 77 Rocky Neck Ave. in the galleries previously occupied by Bernie Gerstner and most recently, Alma McLaughlin.  This photo is of Paul sketching a painting of Alma, which I am looking forward to seeing.  

Paul George was born in Cambridge and studied at the MFA School in Boston. He is a signature member of the National Watercolor Society, and is also an active member of the New England Watercolor Society, Cape Cod AA, North Shore AA and former Vice President of the Rockport Art Association. Paul also won the Winsor & Newton Award for Excellence in Watercolor at the national Watercolor Society. He has won many awards including the Gold Medal from the New England Watercolor Society. His work is in collections throughout the United States and Europe.

Stop by and check out Paul’s and Kate’s work.  They are both excellent painters.

Benjamin Moore mural

Posted on by Matthew Green

It’s easy to take it for granted that we live in a city with lots of beauty, so it’s good to be reminded now and then that we are surrounded by works of art and ingenuity. For instance, I like this mural on the side of the Benjamin Moore store on Railroad Ave. – not just because it’s well painted, but because it is somewhat self-referential: a painting (on a paint store) of painters painting the wall they are painted on…

Eventually I plan to get photos of more of our city’s murals…
