Pretty Day at Niles Pond and Brace Cove

It’s always fun to find a group of photos you intended to post but forgot about! It was a gorgeous day at Niles Pond about 2 weeks ago that brought out several plein air painters like you see here. This kind of scene makes me wish I had that kind of talent. So grateful that those that do have artistic talent are so willing to share their work.

Lunch at Mile Marker One

We didn’t get enough of Mile Marker One at podcast 449 this week, so we went back for our lunch on Saturday. It’s a gorgeous setting on the water made even better by a varied menu of food and drink. While we were there, several families were also having lunch so it is family friendly as well as COVID aware. We saw GM Patrick Hurd on our way out and shared our delight with the roast turkey chaffle and the Italian sandwich. The Italian sandwich could be a contender in a future taste-off! Thank you Patrick and staff for a lovely lunch on the water.

Blizzard of 1978: see more Armand Sindoni art at Destino’s and #GloucesterMA- Part 2

Armand Sindoni (1929-2002) was a Massachusetts native. He resided and worked on Rocky Neck. For many years he was the artist in residence for the Gloucester Schooner Festival. This is a follow up post.

Earlier this week, I posted a GMG reader request wanting to know more about a specific Armand Sindoni work of art. I added one Sindoni portrait and asked readers to join in.

GMG reader Kathy reminded us about the Sindoni murals at Destino’s:

Armand Sindoni painted the beautiful murals inside Destino’s.  One of the vessels in the murals is the “Can Do”.  It was lost during the blizzard of ‘78, going to the rescue of a huge freighter that was off of Beverly, that is also in the mural.  The other vessel in Sindoni’s mural is the “Alligator”, a fishing vessel that was also lost during the blizzard.

Kathy W.

Here are interior (and exterior) photographs I took 2017,2018 and 2020 highlighting some of the art and history details you’ll find there.

There is another work by Sindoni on display at Destino’s. Behind the counter is a portrait of Alex Destino, Sr.

Another GMG reader shared a Sindoni nocturne hanging in her home (courtesy photo)

Thanks to all for taking the time to share your messages about Armand Sindoni.

The GloucesterCast Behind The Scenes

There are several rules when it comes to shooting photos or video that can make enormous differences in the quality of the product.

One is that having good lighting can make a cheap camera outperform a much more expensive camera that doesn’t have good light.

I invested in a new DSLR camera to shoot the podcast. Also a dummy battery for the camera. A dummy battery is a battery for the camera that is actually attached to a wall plug which provides continuous power and doesn’t rely on the camera’s native battery that would likely not have enough juice to last through an entire session of live streaming the podcast. The third piece of the puzzle is going to be these studio lights.

With all these pieces in place, the quality of the live stream should jump up dramatically.
