A salute to the American turkey!
A turkey is a large bird in the genus Meleagris, which is one of only two birds native to America’s. They were first called “Indian turkeys”. An infant is called a “chick”, “poult” or turklette.
They were once almost no Turkey’s to be found but now we find them everywhere, even in our yards. They can be aggressive toward humans and pets. Wild Turkey’s have a social structure or pecking order and humans are low on that order. They believe
they can dominate and that we are subordinates. So as you eat your turkey on Thursday remember they were here first, be grateful they were!

Long Beach November: At the back of Cape Ann Motor Inn
How close is the Cape Ann Motor Inn to Long beach? On it! So close most days they need to sweep sand out of the parking lot. They told me that they have been busier all seasons, especially since they renovated the rooms a couple of years ago.

LIVE: James Prendergast Library only sold 3 at Sotheby’s! Rockwell fetches 6.2 million
Christie’s and Sotheby’s held dueling LIVE auctions on November 21, 2017. Christie’s American sale offered 93 lots resulting in $34,131,500 total sales, nearly 7x the total sales of Sotheby’s which featured less than 67 lots because the Berkshire Museum lots were pulled from the sale. Sotheby’s* failed to sell more than 1/2 of the first 45 lots. I’ll update after the sales have ended. *Sotheby’s sale is now closed. The auction house sold just 34 of 67 lots, total sales (including Buyer’s Premium) were $5,858,250. Christie’s sold 72 of 91 lots today.
It turns out that the James Prendergast Library deaccession (see prior GMG post) would have made more money and kept the art in Jamestown if they had not brought the art to market at Sotheby’s. Here are the three of nine paintings to find collectors; two went under estimate.
SOLD $320,000 under estimate
SOLD $55,000 under estimate
SOLD $32,000 over estimate
One of Sotheby’s best lots today was a Dame Laura Knight which sold for $560,000, right within its estimate range.
Hammer prices unless otherwise indicated:
Christie’s Lot 15 Norman Rockwell What Makes it Tick, a 1948 oil on canvas, sold for 6.2million (just above its pre sale high estimate, 4 million to 6 million) which came to $7,287,500 after buyer’s premiums were factored. Rockwell’s Returning from Camp fetched 1.9 million. A Winslow Homer Tynemouth watercolor fetched a hammer price of $170,000, above its presale estimate range of 100,000-150,000. The Martin Johnson Heade failed to sell; the Milton Avery self portrait went for $45,000 at the gavel drop; and the Paul Manship sculpture was unsold, bidding failing to climb past $240,000 (pre sale estimate was $300,000 to $500,000.)
Norman Rockwell. Girl Returning from Camp. 1940. Christie’s presale estimate is 2 million – 3million
Milton Avery, Self Portrati and Still Life (a double sided work) oil on board, ca.1930s, 20 in x 15 in (Christie’s presale estimate is $60,000-$80,000)

Chappy Ferry
I am beyond intrigued by what it must be like to live on Chappaquiddick. While on Martha’s Vineyard this past weekend, I stood and watched the ferry load up on the mainland side, steam across the channel, allow the vehicles to disembark, load the first three vehicles in line on the Chappy side, and return. It took 5 1/2 minutes. Fascinating.
I tried to imagine what it must be like for residents living on Chappaquiddick to get accustomed to a lifestyle that involves that daily commute…possibly several times a day. While the ride across is mere minutes…I can imagine that some days the time spent sitting in line waiting to board is monumental. The car ferry can only take two or three cars at one time so wait times can easily add up.
Then I started thinking about the school children who need to get across the channel to attend school…assuming Chappy doesn’t have its own school. I’m sure there are many people who know no other way…

SAFE TRAVELS MARIPOSA MONARCA! AND MONARCH FILM ONLINE FUNDRAISING UPDATE
The Monarch last to eclose departed on Wednesday, November 15th. Although the air temperature was only in the low 40s when I left for work, the sun was shining. Our front porch faces southwest so it wasn’t long before his wings were warmed by the sun’s rays and away he flew. The forecast for parts further south along the east coast, the next leg of his journey–Westport, Long Island, and the New Jersey shore– looked promisingly mild. Thank you to my friend Patti Papows for the gift of this last little trooper.
We in the Northeast aren’t alone; I am reading reports about late comers from all around the United States, and even as far north as Toronto, Canada. So few Atlantic coast Monarchs were seen last year, do the great numbers this year portend of a permanent population increase? Bare in mind that the Monarchs were formerly counted in the billions when first discovered in the late 1970s, and now, forty years later, only millions.
A cold New England spring was offset by an unseasonably warm fall and that certainly helped the Monarchs (and myriad species of Lepidoptera). In response to the vast areas of farm acreage that no longer supports butterflies and bees, due to the use of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready genetically modified seeds of corn, soybean, and sorghum, people all across the U.S. are planting milkweed, creating pollinator habitats, and finding alternatives to pesticides and herbicides.

With Thanksgiving only a few days away I am writing with the deepest appreciation and gratitude to my community for your tremendous contributions to Beauty on the Wing. From donations of $5.00 to $10,000.00, from over 70 donors, to date we have raised $24,710.00. We are well on our way to reaching our goal! Your kind words, contributions, and friendships mean the world. We are going to make an outstanding, thoughtful and thought-provoking film about the Monarchs that along the way, through storytelling and cinematography, shines a beautiful light on Cape Ann.
