Not sure but think this is the Bermuda Cruise ship going by Magnolia’s Shore Road. It was clear so the view was great.

Rocky Neck Art Colony presents More or Less, A Show About How Much Is Enough at Cove Gallery
Sept. 24-Oct. 18, 2026
Four artists explore the balance between what is shown—and what is left out
Gloucester, MA — September 2026 — Rocky Neck Art Colony is pleased to present a group exhibition bringing together four artists whose work explores the possibilities of abstraction through painting, printmaking, and sculpture.
On view September 24 through October 18, at Cove Gallery, 37 Rocky Neck Avenue in Gloucester, the exhibition features painters Willie Alexander and Martin Sorger, sculptor Joan Mullen, and printmaker Julia Talcott.
Though their mediums and methods differ, the four artists share an essential artistic negotiation: how much of the world to include, and how much to strip away.
Rather than treating abstraction as a fixed style or endpoint, More or Less considers it an ongoing process of decision-making. Each artist determines what is necessary, what can be suggested, and when an image, form, or structure has said enough. The result is a thoughtful conversation among four distinct artistic voices—one that invites viewers to look closely at what is present, as well as what is deliberately left unsaid.
The exhibition offers no single answer to the question of how much is enough. Instead, the works create space for viewers to consider the choices behind them: What needs to be shown? What can be implied? When does form and structure say enough? And what happens when an artist chooses to give us more—or less?
The public is warmly invited to meet the artists and celebrate the opening of More or Less at a Opening Reception on Sunday, September 27, from 4–6 PM at Cove Gallery.

Capt Gus Sanfilippo Mariner’s Medals Award Ceremony on Wednesday
Capt. Gus Sanfilippo will be awarded 3 Gloucester Mariner’s Medals tomorrow Wednesday Sept 23 at 6:30 PM in the City Hall auditorium. These awards recognize 3 separate incidents in which Capt. Sanfilippo came to the aid of those in need on the high seas. One incident involved the Holly & Alexander in 2000; another in 2007 with Virginia Surf as well as in 2011 with the Elizabeth Ann. His daughter Dr. Lily Jean Sanfilippo took the necessary steps to honor her grandfather’s wish that Capt Gus be recognized. As I am sure most are aware, Capt Sanfilippo was lost aboard the Lily Jean last January along with 6 other crew members. It was gratifying to see that this flag in honor of the Lily Jean is still on display on Commercial St at the Fiesta Wall. Our hearts are with all our fishing families.
