Surrendering to his effortless curiosity and the pleasures of true admiration, artistic possibilities are infinite for David Cox. And so, no matter the subject–people, nature, sports, art–David Cox renders great portraits in color, composition, grandeur and joy.

Held at Seacoast in Gloucester, MA., this two day David Cox exhibition/reception grew out of available printed and framed inventory at Main Street Antiques, spanning decades of engagement with his unmistakable eye. You can find more of David’s work at Main Street Antiques, Cape Ann Giclee, and one day soon a substantial selection from his archive heading to Cape Ann Museum with a future show and more planned there.

Head’s Up! Whales feeding here again! Visible from shore, May 2nd. Off Long Beach. #RockportMA #GloucesterMA

Posted on by Catherine

Spring time in Gloucester! Whales are visible from the shore in April and May. This year, multiple reports of sightings occurred on April 19th (morning and night) and May 2nd, 2026 (before 9AM). The whales can be difficult to spot and ID. Some species journey past, fast. Others may criss cross back and forth between Good Harbor Beach and Twin Lights, in a generalized area for hours or even all day. So, if you missed a sighting, keep your eyes open. Meanwhile, Common Eiders are busy spring mating and it’s a great year for forsythia.

Right whales were close in 2018.

Two Coyotes and a Pair of Deer

We took a ride around dusk recently and observed a variety of springtime wildlife behavior in the area meadows including 2 different coyotes and a pair of deer doing what wildlife does in spring. It was a good reminder to be cautious driving at dusk.
