Gail Levin, author of Hopper’s Places Has Some Nice Things To Say About Our Catherine Ryan’s Work

What exciting work all the sleuths in Gloucester are doing tracking Edward Hopper’s footprints! I sure wish that I had had the power of the internet when I was first doing my research on Hopper in the 1970s and early 1980s, but there was no internet presence then. Most folks I encountered in Gloucester had never even heard of Hopper. Congratulations to all the people finding Hopper’s presence and to those who conceived of the website.

With best wishes,Gail Levin, author Hopper’s Places, Edward Hopper: A Catalogue Raisonne, Edward Hopper: An Intimate Biography, and other books

Safe Harbor

DSCF1432-2

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Mark Twain

Muffy White Offers To Take Your Spent Whiskey Bottles

Dear Joey,

Today my family and I walked 1/3 of a mile from our home on Haskell St. down Mooreland St. and picked up 4 lawn bags of garbage. Gross right?
The amazing thing is what we found among the general waste we found 161 small bottles of Seagrams 7.
One Hundred and Sixty One!!
Not an accidental "oops my recycling blew away"…

I am truly amazed at the litter that is everywhere in Gloucester RIGHT NOW!
This is not a complaint but a plea —
People please step outside and if something doesn’t belong on the ground, pick it up.
When you have trash please do not litter!
This our home, your home, your children’s home…

Every day should be Earth Day,
Muffy White

p.s. IF you are on Mooreland St or Haskell St and do not know how to dispose of your small/large liquor bottles, please drop them by our house we will be happy to help!!

Here’s Deb Clarkes new work space she’s fixing up. She has a beautiful view.

from deb clarke:

A room with a door and a few work walls.  after i remove some furniture, bedding, etc.  It will double as a guest room as needed.  I’ve been so hungry for space that I cannot wait for full clean up to start working.  I always open new work space with a self portrait.  Just  mixed up some egg paint.  off  to draw.

best,

deb.
