Beautiful snow at Stage Fort Park
Artist Carol Kriekis hand painted Gloucester designs
Thanks to the Holiday Delights Youth Acting Program at Gloucester Stage, I had the lucky chance to spend some time with artist Carol Kriekis. I thought her home and studio were a perfect reflection of her warmth and style, elegant and layered like an Aesthetic Movement interior. Kriekis works in different media, mostly grounded in representation. I saw series inspired by nature and renderings of flowers.
Recently she’s transformed her classic ‘Glosta’ and other Gloucester designs into oval stickers, each with some hand flourish. The potential for art everywhere around us — stickers, hand painted– that had me thinking about aestheticism, too.

525
I went to 525 the other night for dinner and drinks with a couple great friends. Two Magnolia Mules, some shared calamari, beet and ricotta salad, and fish tacos….followed by a delicious espresso and some obscene (in a good way) dessert. Everything was delicious! If you haven’t been in a while it is probably time to head on over!

This Is The Time Of The Year Locals Get To Enjoy The Fantastic Causeway Restaurant
I feel like if you’ve been here for more than ten minutes you already know how incredible the portions and service at The Causeway Restaurant On Essex Ave in Gloucester.
But in case you needed a reminder- thus is the time of the year you can actually get in and be seated right away.
Captain Pete Mondello and I enjoyed lunch here today.

MAGICAL AND EVOCATIVE GLOUCESTER WINTER WONDERLAND
This morning’s snow and ice lingered all day, shrouding the city in such a hauntingly beautiful manner that I couldn’t help but take the late afternoon off and went looking and taking as many photos as possible before the sun set.

Saint Anthony’s by-the-sea Snowy Morning
Saint Anthony’s Chapel, early this morning when it was still snowing. I am hoping to post a second batch of photos from later today, of the hauntingly beautiful scenes of snow- and ice-shrouded Gloucester however the branches and phone lines are laden and our lights keep flickering on and off. I hope we don’t lose power tonight but won’t be surprised if we do.
