“During Gloucester’s 400th anniversary, I wanted to honor many of the city’s elders with a project involving their hands — hands which have been worn smooth as gems from years of loving, caring, toiling, living.  Hands wrinkled and calloused, arthritic, spotted, veined.  Beautiful hands of time. My tribute unfolds in four parts—Sculpture, Drawing, Painting and Video.”

Juni Van Dyke

Jane Deering gallery is located at 19 Pleasant Street, Gloucester MA. Gallery hours: Friday & Saturday 1-5pm; Sunday 1-4pm and by appointment at 978-526-7248 or junivandyke@yahoo.com.

Russell Orchard Is Open!

Posted on by Pat D

One of our favorite stop-by places is Russell Orchard on Argilla Road in Ipswich so we were happy to nte they have re-opened for the 2023 season! I enjoy just strolling around inside and out and discovered something new (to me) this time. Did you know there’s a walk around mini garden with samples of all the trees they have on site? I happened to notice some children enjoying the area so it drew my attention. They do things right there with the barnyard, orchard and other attractions. There’s fresh baked goods, fruit and veggies, wine, plants and even some shirts. Welcome back Russell Orchard and Happy Mother’s Day!
