Edward Hopper and Gloucester Featured at North Carolina Museum of Art. Marks of Genius from the Minneapolis institute of Art Travel Show.
A rare Edward Hopper drawing of East Main Street, Gloucester, is part of a comprehensive exhibit, “Marks of Genius”, masterpieces from the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) on view at the North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA) through June 19th. These wonders of process traveled to the Grand Rapids Art Museum in Michigan before Raleigh. The next stop will be the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska. The Hopper is featured at every venue, and so is Gloucester.
The NCMA installed the drawings in their largest special exhibition space by subject rather than chronologically, the design choice of other venues.
How do I know? Exhibitions Assistant, Margaret Gaines, was kind enough to share details and photographs of the museum and its beautiful Meymandi Exhibition Gallery in the East Building so that we could all armchair art gawk. (I smiled when I read that East Main Street is in the East building of this East coast museum.) “Gloucester” is written on the museum label along with my research and color photograph.
Here’s another photograph pulled back to compare the house with the Hopper sketch and choices.
“American Impressionist: Childe Hassam and the Isle of Shoals” is up at the same time. Childe Hassam has Gloucester and Massachusetts ties, but I didn’t ask to see pictures of that exhibit. Though “Marks of Genius” won’t be coming any closer to Massachusetts than North Carolina, the Hassam show is coming to the Peabody Essex Museum on July 16th, 2016. The North Carolina Museum of Art partnered with PEM. I wouldn’t miss it.

That Melissa Cox, She’s One of the Good Ones
Not only is she a good sport, but she’s generous too.
Melissa agreed, thanks to a $500 request, to be tossed into the pool in the name of charity.
That $500 will go to a charity set up to help the Orlando shooting victims and their families.
You just never know what you’re going to run into when you meet up with a friend for a drink in Gloucester. While I missed the actual splash…I landed on the roof top deck in time to see a wet, chilly, but still smiling Melissa Cox spreading cheer the way she always does.
Thanks so much to Christopher Sicuranza for capturing and sharing the moment…and to Melissa for allowing me to post it. Thanks also to Steven LeBlanc for “the push” and Sean Nolan for stepping up big with the $500 donation.
(and, how about that roof top pool area!) #Beauport Hotel

RESPLENDENT NEWLY EMERGED LUNA MOTHS!
Considered by many to be North America’s most beautiful insect, a newly emerged Luna Moth will melt the heart of even the most vehement of insectophobes. These male and female pristine beauties were photographed at new friend Jane’s lush garden in Gloucester. Jane, along with her friend Christine (who we met last week), intend to repopulate Cape Ann with members of our native Giant Silkmoth Family. See story here.
In the photo above, the female is in the lower right. You can easily tell the difference because the male has much fuller antennae–all the better to detect the female’s pheromones.
Her abdomen is swollen with eggs. A female Luna Moth will oviposit between 400 to 600 eggs, more during warm weather.
Not quite as large as the Cecropia Moth, nonetheless its wings span nearly four and a half inches. You are most likely to see Luna Moths flying during evening hours and the caterpillars munching on birch leaves, one of their favorite food plants in our region. The adult moths only live for a week and during that time are unable to eat (they emerge without mouthparts). The mature Luna Moth’s sole purpose is to mate and deposit eggs of the next generation.
Many thanks to Christine and Jane for sharing their passion for the gorgeous Giant Silkmoths!
This short film of a Luna Moth in flight was made after finding a Luna Moth at Willowdale Estate. I returned home with the moth and as evening approached it began to quiver and vibrate in preparation for flight. I had been listening to Ave Maria and it was playing in the background so I left it in the video and think the music perfect for this most stunning of creatures.
