CAPE ANN WILDFLOWERS BLOOMING TODAY!
Summersweet
There is an exuberant abundance of wildflowers blooming in marsh and meadow all along the shores of Cape Ann and here are just a few snapshots. When out and about on a wooded walk, you may notice a wonderful sweet spicy fragrance. What you are smelling is more than likely our native summersweet (Clethra alnifolia), which also goes by the common name sweet pepperbush; perhaps a more apt description of its potent and zippy honey-spice scent.
Plant summersweet for pollinators–bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies love the nectar-rich florets.
Jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), also loved by hummingbirds

![Fitz Henry Lane (1804–1865). Gloucester Harbor at Sunrise, c. 1850, oil on canvas. Gift of Lawrence Brooks, 1970. [Acc. #2020]](https://goodmorninggloucester.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/mail-attachment-2.jpeg?w=700)
Fitz Henry Lane was a Cape Ann artist, printmaker and world-renowned American marine painter. With his subtle use of gleaming light, Lane is generally regarded as one of the finest 19th century practitioners of the style known as luminism. The Cape Ann Museum’s unparalleled collection of works by Fitz Henry Lane – which includes paintings, drawings and lithographs – is on permanent display in the gorgeously renovated Lane Gallery, a space fully devoted to Lane’s life and work.
A tour in downtown Gloucester to view houses immortalized by
renowned American realist painter Edward Hopper
GLOUCESTER, Mass. (August 6, 2015) – The Cape Ann Museum is pleased to present a guided walking tour of select Gloucester houses made famous by American realist painter Edward Hopper on Saturday, August 15 at 10:00 a.m. Tours last about 1 1/2 hours and are held rain or shine. Participants should be comfortable being on their feet for that amount of time. Cost is $10 for Cape Ann Museum members; $20 for nonmembers (includes Museum admission). Space is limited and reservations are required. Email info@capeannmuseum.org or call (978) 283-0455 x10 for more information or to reserve a space. The Hopper’s Houses tour will also be offered on August 22.
American realist painter Edward Hopper is known to have painted in Gloucester on five separate occasions during the summer months in the years 1912, 1923, 1924, 1926 and 1928. His earliest visit in 1912 was made in the company of fellow artist Leon Kroll. During his second visit to Cape Ann in 1923, Hopper courted the young artist Josephine Nivison. He also began working in watercolor, capturing the local landscape and architecture in loosely rendered, light filled paintings. In 1924, Hopper and Nivison who were newly married returned to Gloucester on an extended honeymoon and continued to explore the area by foot and streetcar. During his final two visits to the area, in 1926 and 1928, Hopper produced some of his finest paintings. This special walking tour will explore the neighborhood surrounding the Museum, which includes many of the Gloucester houses immortalized by Hopper’s paintings.

“Art, Rocks!”? WTF are they about?
I started to draw on ocean rocks in 2010. The first rock I drew on and left was at Pebble Beach in Rockport, Ma.
I heard a couple of songs on the radio while I was sketching down there. They were “Message in a Bottle” and “Take Me I’m Yours”. It was found a week later. I got a nice email from the finder so I started to do more. some I got responses and some not and I got some very touching emails from the finders.
I got an email the other day after I left one at the Fort Playground. She was wondering what was this about. She wanted to know if she had to; Return it, leave it somewhere else or pay for it.
We have a few more new readers of GMG since 2010 and I thought everyone who has read GMG knew what this “Art, Rocks!” thing was about.
So here is the answer, I think.
When I go for a ride and the mood hit’s me, I’ll stop by one of my favorite locations around Cape Ann and draw the scene in front of me with a Sharpie Marker. I leave my email address on it in case anyone would want to say they found it. They always have the “Art, Rock’s!” wording on them. Anyone can go look for them and there is no catch, nothing to buy, just keep it if you like, send an email and/or photo to share if you like there is no obligation to do that.
I hope this explains WTF is an “Art, Rock’s!” Rock. If anyone else can explain it beter be my guest please.
Here are some photos and links to some “Art, Rock’s!” posts.
