Laureen Maher Exhibit Opening

Posted on by God's Morning

Laureen Maher had a great, well-attended Opening Reception for her “Brushwork” Guest Artist Exhibit at Khan Studio and the GMG Gallery on Sunday.   Allen Estes and J.B. Amero, two of the subjects of her Rock Stars series of portraits were in the house, as well as many of the cool, artsy and art appreciating crowd from Rocky Neck and beyond.  Sorry Adam, the painting of the snack bar at Good Harbor Beach that you loved so much is sold, but there are a number of other beautiful oil landscape, floral and rock star paintings still available.  Her exhibit runs through July 21, so come on down to 77 Rocky Neck at Madfish Wharf and check out her work.  The Gallery is open daily from noon to 8:00 (or earlier and later by chance).

Did You Know? (Another Ciaramitaro)

Posted on by God's Morning

Jim, Charity and Laine (10 years old) Ciaramitaro (Jim didn’t know if he was related to Joey, but with a name like that, they certainly could be), stopped into the Gallery after a morning of boogey boarding at Good Harbor Beach, to get a sticker and meet and see Laureen Maher’s guest artist “Brushwork” exhibit of oil paintings.  Jim grew up in Gloucester but moved to MN to be with Charity, who he met at Fiesta.  In 2009, they returned to Gloucester to live.  With them were Charity’s brother and sister-in-law, Steve and Sarah with 5-month-old Mae, visiting from Morongo Valley, CA.

“Art, Rocks!” Better Late Than Never! Rockport 09/04/2010

Posted on by capeannpainter

“Art, Rocks!”

Better Late Than Never!

I received an email a few weeks ago from a 10 year old boy who when he was nine years old at the time he found one of my “Art,Rocks!” a Rock that I left at T-Wharf in Rockport on 09/04/2010. I think that was about 9 months ago.  I remember leaving it there after having a cup of coffee and watching the Lobstermen get ready for their day. About 5am.  I always wonder about the ones I leave that don’t get reported back to the email I leave on them. Currently the last three that I’ve left in the past two weeks that I never gave notice on GMG Have not been reported back. Which is fine. In this world we live in now, maybe people think there is a catch too this thing. Maybe they think I want money for it. Emails like Coopers who found it is payment enough! I will never ask anything for them. An email would be nice but, If I don’t get a response that’s fine too! Mystery and fantasy is what makes life! isn’t  it?

Here’s the email from Cooper and Photos of the “Art, Rock!” He found! Who could ask for anything more?!!!! Thanks Cooper!

Am I a little weird? Maybe! 🙂

from Cooper;

Dear mr or mrs frontiero. I picked up one of your pictures of the motif in a parking lot in rockport on 9-4-2010. I am very sorry not to get back to you sooner. I am a 10 year old boy and I’m in fourth grade at st johns in Beverly Massachusetts . I picked it up when i was nine with my aunt and little sister delaney who is now 6. That is my lucky rock because that day I won a contest at bearskin neck country store. You are a beautiful artist. Sincerely , Cooper

I’m Not a Writer, so please forgive any errors! 🙂

Sailing Disaster Narrowly Averted

Posted on by God's Morning

There were a bunch of people taking sailing lessons off Niles Beach the other morning, and it was amazing to see how quickly the instructors raced to the rescue to save moored boats from being smashed into by wayward, totally out of control sailboats.  It was pretty chaotic and fun to watch.  No one was injured and no boats were hit, at least while I was watching.

Gloucester artists, Deb Hardy (singer/songwriter) and Kerry Mullen (painter/sculptor and sexton at the UUC) and lovers of the blog, stopped by the gallery to say hi, talk art and pick up GMG stickers.  Now Deb is going to be one of the performers on Madfish Wharf during our next NOTN on August 4, possibly with Kerry accompanying on drums.

Did You Know? (All the Way From LA)

Posted on by God's Morning

That brother and sister, Will and Molly Cox came all the way from LA looking for Joey C. because they love Good Morning Gloucester and think he’s cool?  He wasn’t around, so they got the consolation prize of a GMG sticker and are now are on GMG themselves.  They are here visiting family (the Bell family) near Good Harbor Beach.  Will has been reading the blog for about a year, and says his Dad reads it too.  They are leaving tomorrow, but will be back, so we’ll have to hook up a meet-up with Joey for them then.

Kenneth Grahame Quote of The Week From Greg Bover

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

"Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing — absolutely nothing — half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

Water Rat to Mole, The Wind in the Willows, 1908, by Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) Click the picture to view his wikipedia page-

image

Born in Scotland, Grahame was raised by his grandmother in rural Berkshire. Although he began writing in his 20’s, his main career was with the Bank of England in which he rose to the rank of Managing Secretary. He retired from the Bank at the age of 49, and the same year published his masterwork featuring Rat, Mole, Badger, and the infamous Mr. Toad, for which he received the Lewis Carroll Award.  It is a classic of children’s literature that has been reprinted dozens of times and can be seen as a play, heard as a recorded book, or listened to as a radio play. This is one of the great books to read aloud with a young person in your life.

Did You Know? (Mug Up)

Posted on by God's Morning

That tomorrow is Sunday, and you know what that means?  Mug Up at Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery.  10:00 a.m., 77 Rocky Neck Ave.,G3.  Rumor has it that Paul Morrison is bringing his (Sue’s) famous smoked bluefish pate’.  I’ll be making my deviled eggs and a mean cup-a-jo, and there’s no way of knowing what someone else might bring to add to the offering.  Always fun, and a great place to meet new and old friends from the blog.

Also don’t forget that Laureen Maher will be having the opening reception for her new exhibit “Brushwork” on Sunday from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.
