BTW I might as well share the auction video, too. If you remember, last week we told you about the auction at 14 Rouse Rd., Eastern Point. It sold today for $1.05M. If you’ve never seen an auction, watch my video clips.
He said he heard it breathe when it lifted it’s back out of the water and it’s back came up about 6 or 7 times within 15 minutes or so. The skin was smooth and it was pure white, the whole animal.
What he saw was the back hump come out of the water and then the tail and the tail was split like two points. Can anyone ID what it could have been???
A beluga perhaps?
Cropped-
Updated, a second confirmation from Amy Beaudet:
My father-in-law also saw it yesterday by the paint factory. He said it was a beluga whale. He’ll probably give more details later.

Born to Jewish parents in Brooklyn, NY, Schwartz attended Columbia and the University of Wisconsin before receiving a degree from New York University. He studied philosophy as a graduate student under the great Alfred North Whitehead at Harvard while he roomed with the poet Robert Lowell. His first book, In Dreams Responsibilities Begin, based on his parents failed marriage, gained him widespread notice. He went on to teach writing at a number of schools including Syracuse and Kenyon. Among his many students and protégés was Saul Bellow, whose Humboldt’s Gift is based on their relationship. Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground also studied with Schwartz, wrote at least two songs in his memory and named him the “first great man I ever met.” Schwartz died at 52, alone and isolated from the world, from complications of alcoholism and mental illness.

Hey Joey,
ARTIST LOREN DOUCETTE …LIFTS STUDENT ART INTO PUBLIC ART INSTALLATIONEETING #2
East Gloucester Elementary School and ART
Hey Joey,
What happens when artist Loren Doucette exhibits art projects by the entire East Gloucester Elementary student body over two back-to-back family nights?
She lifts it to the level of public art installation. (Ruby McElhenny’s mask J)
That’s Loren’s mom, Diane, helping out.
Thanks to hundreds of display cases –big shout out for the shoe boxes from Mark Adrian Shoes—and a beckoning zippy maze we were treated to a walk in field of masks.
The PTO worked with East Gloucester Elementary to bring Loren and artist Amber LeBlanc (look for her teaching art this summer at YMCA Camp Spindrift) to spend an entire day with each grade. Devoted entirely to art and only art!
Loren’s most recent work—the view from Kate’s balcony– will be on exhibit opening this weekend atFlat Rocks Gallery.
Esteemed artist, Ed Touchette, is the art teacher year round for East Gloucester Elementary school and Veteran’s. So these students have a touch with a master class every week! And Mary Rhinelanderdesigned the school logo.
Special thanks to EGS PTO for such a memorable event.

It’s another great day on Cape Ann and perfect for the 31st Annual Cape Ann Artisans Tour, which is happening today and tomorrow from 10 – 5. The Boston Globe just published a wonderful review of the tour called: Light of days lures artists to Cape Ann by Diane Bair. I hope you can make a stop to my studio at 97 East Main St. You’ll find a complete map of all the participants on the web site.

Join Art Haven for our first week of summer 2014 programming: Nature Week! Your kids will get to take advantage of all that Gloucester has to offer through exploration of the local natural world. With projects like Rock Stacking, Sand Sculptures, Found Objects Collage, Sand Raking, and Beach Mandalas, we will work to give your children an adventure that will help them appreciate the things that make Gloucester so special. Through hands-on activities and artistic skills training your child will come home with great stories, creative artwork, and new friends and memories to last a lifetime.
Last year’s nine weeks of summer programs were a huge success. Our “Summer Passport Program” allowed students to explore the cultures of Mexico, Italy, Kenya, Greece, France, Tahiti, and China, and our partnership with Maritime Gloucester got them learning about culture a little closer to home. Over the course of the summer we worked with 64 kids, and were able to provide scholarship money for 27 of them – that’s 42%! We are grateful to our students, their families, and the generous donors who make our programs possible. Looking forward to summer 2014!
Take advantage of the fun and creative space that Art Haven creates each summer for kids entering grades 1-5!
Our programs run from 9-1 and promote creativity and confidence through hands on learning and collaboration with talented local artists and fun, energetic summer staff.
Your kids can enjoy a reasonably priced summer program that gives flexibility through weekly sign ups. A healthy lunch is provided daily by The Open Door and Project Bread. Take advantage of our flexible pick up time from 1 pm-3 pm while your kids further explore their talents with the skills they learned earlier in the day!
Our summer staff will ensure that each moment is special and that new friendships are made so your child will have a summer adventure they will never forget!
