“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
A Time for Blue, on view at Trident Gallery through March 26, is a themed exhibition of art organized first of all around the color blue, but strongly influenced by the many meanings and echoes of the words “time” and “blue.”
Time: era, moment, fit period; occasion; trial; tempo, meter; enforced duty; and many more.
Blue: the pure color of a clear sky; melancholy, dismal; not red; indecent; blasphemous; discolored by cold, contusion, fear, or vascular collapse; stemming from rigid morals. Blues: songs marked by frequent occurrence of blue (flatted) notes; blue military uniforms, the police; and more.
In the Trident Gallery context, the most unusual works on display are two early “Blue Dog” silkscreen prints from 1993 by the Cajun artist George Rodrigue (1944–2013), and an early pastel drawing of Gloucester from 1958 by Nell Blaine (1922–1996). Several paintings by Zygmund Jankowski and Peter Lyons have not been exhibited previously at Trident Gallery. Other works of art are shown again in the new light of this exhibition.
Trident Gallery shows beautiful and intelligent contemporary art in all mediums, emphasizing the work of artists continuing Gloucester’s rich legacy as a center for new American Art. Gallery Director Dr. Matthew Swift curates and produces the exhibitions, drawing on over twenty years of multi-disciplinary scholarship, teaching, and creative exploration.

This was the calm before the storm yesterday morning…happy we were spared the volumes of snow predicted! Now lets bring on spring!
I watched different meteorologists and news reporters knocking out storm coverage all day long from their windy, wet, and cold vantage points on T Wharf and Bearskin Neck in Rockport…from my warm home. Â At one point I thought to myself, “It’d be nice to make sure they have some hot coffee since they’ve been down there for hours”….but I didn’t.
You know who did take the initiative to go take care of them though? Â Rockport’s Traci Budrow…that’s who! Â And, not just with coffee. Â Good job, Traci. Â Way to represent the charming town of Rockport.

Walked to Shore Road about an hour after high tide. It was awesome. No driving, but walking is rough with the wind blowing.



Blizzarding! I hope everyone is keeping warm and cozy indoors ❤
