Happy New Year! Onward

Posted on by Catherine

Dusting of snow along the back of Anna Hyatt Huntington’s superb Joan of Arc WWI memorial, such a multifaceted muse and Gloucester landmark.

Whatever brings you there– artist, subject, sculpture, setting, history –its surplus of qualities alone and together reward gaze and inquiry. I took several photographs early December 30th, careful compositions against a gift of blues and vault of morning sky. For this one, I roughly edited out the telephone wires for my thoughts. Shake off 2016 and frame up a fresh start for the year ahead!

More, not less for 2017

Posted on by Bridgette Mathews

Every New Year we think about what we are going to do less of…drink less, eat less, be less lazy.   This year I’m all about MORE!   I’m ready for MORE positivity, MORE adventures, MORE sunrises and sunsets, MORE laughter, MORE fun, MORE patience, MORE gratitude and just living life MORE.  So my wish to everyone for 2017 is MORE!   dscf6610-edit

First Night Boston Copley Square: top crowd at Man At Wheel ice sculpture…by far! And Boston Public Library

There were also large ice works of a lighthouse, clipper ship and sea serpent (live sculpting work in progress while we were there)

Across the street a favorite spot with more public art and large crowds– the ever stunning Boston Public Library. An art post for another day: for now some interior details. Here are a Kitson marble bust of Longfellow and a tease detail from the Sargent murals. (My sons said they like the Sawyer Free teen room more but this Boston Library was something to be proud of, too.)

The Gift

Posted on by Marty Luster

My 8 year old granddaughter presented me with a little booklet she entitled “A Gift of Poetry” which contains 7 of her original poems. Shanti is a voracious reader and a talented writer. She keeps a detailed journal and loves to listen to, write and tell stories. More than anything, she loves the idea of family.

Here’s one of her poems.img

 

Boston on the Horizon

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

As most know I love taking the sunsets over Magnolia Harbor. The other night it was so clear you can name the buildings of Boston’s skyline. Happy New Year
