Good Morning Gloucester

Day beacon…

Currently on view at Jane Deering Gallery — JON SARKIN | PORTRAITS — with a special reception with the artist on Saturday December 4th from 2-5pm.  Many on Cape Ann are familiar with Jon Sarkin — contemporary Outsider Artist — and his abstracted drawings of cactuses, sailboats, and comic book characters; yet his vast body of work consists equally of a large number of portraits. The new works on view in this exhibition capture the purity of feeling and mood. With strong homages to Caravaggio, Francis Bacon, and Van Gogh, Jon’s unique vision and voice brings a fresh perspective on the time-honored tradition of portraiture.

The lobster trap tree is back up on Main Street sporting a bit of a different look this year. There is no entrance and it’s constructed with working traps which gives it a very authentic look. The green and yellow is quite festive. Always an impressive engineering feat! Thanks to all for sharing your talents and traps with us.
