Quick Color Study

Posted on by capeannpainter

This is a quick Color Study I did of one of Sharon Lowe’s  Beautiful Niles Pond Photos.

I Sometimes do a few of these if I plan on doing a larger Version.

As you can see I love Broad Brushstrokes and vivid colors.

Had Enough of Winter? Think Spring!!

Posted on by capeannpainter

Cold and Gray.

Go to work in the Dark, Get Home in the Dark.

No Sunlight until the Weekend.

No Mas! Wake me when It’s over, Please!

I’m trying to think Spring.

So I went out and bought a Lawn Ornament for my Yard.

I think it’ll look great from the Street.

You can have them personalized too.

On August 5, 2001, the Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Association (GFWA) dedicated a monument to honor the women who have been – and are – the soul of fishing communities.

As Angela Sanfilippo, GFWA president, so eloquently said at the dedication ceremony:

“The memorial serves as a testimonial to what wives, mothers, sisters, and children of fishermen of the world have endured because their men chose to be on the water. They had no choice but to stand on rock, to be on land.”

Envisioned by the wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters of Gloucester fishermen, the memorial honors not only the faith, diligence, and fortitude of the wives of fishermen and mariners everywhere but also honors all women for their unselfish contribution to the well being of their families and their communities.

Check out the Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Association Website for more information: http://www.gfwa.org/memorial/memorial.html

A Blast From My Past!

Posted on by capeannpainter
 
 
 The Glickmeister!
 
 If your also an Oldtimer you may

remember him.

Larry Glick was a Boston radio talk showhost, whose long-running show on WBZ

and later WHDH became a New England

institution in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

I Stayed up Late at night listening to him

when I was in High School in the 70’s.

He was the original Howard Stern and Art Bell put together. Maybe not as racy, but he did have his moments.

Here’s a link to a great Website where you

can listen to some of his best moments

FOR FREE!  That’s my favorite part.

What does this have to do with Gloucester?

NOTHING, other than he had a lot of Fanshere.

Were you one of them?

ENJOY!

HOW PUMPKIN PIE IS REALLY MADE!!

These Photos were shot undercover at one of the most Popular Bakeries in the United States. What a disgrace! To Think Grandma’s homemade recipe has been reduce to this Mass Produced pile of crap. You’ll thank me for not posting the photos of how these Chefs added the Whipped Cream Topping!  Thanks to a Cape Ann Online poster for bringing this to my attention.  I hope you did’nt know about any of this Laurie!

Painters of Cape Ann

Dennis Poirier An American Impressionist Painter

 Dennis Poirier grew up in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The colors, sights, and sounds of the busy port and fishing fleet inspired Dennis. His earliest memory is of his father drawing his portrait.   Dennis says his parents always supported his art and that gave him confidence.
Dennis began to paint and soon became a part of the long line of Cape Ann’s contribution to American impressionist painters. He feels proud and fortunate to be part of the Cape Ann legacy. Please Visit Dennis’ Website  to view many of his Paintings and also for; Gallery Information , Workshop and Class Dates and Purchasing Details.
