Cake Ann

I stopped by Cake Ann again this morning. There’s always such a great variety of pastries and sweet treats…plus delicious coffees and tons of comfortable places to sit if you have the time. Located in the front of the Gloucester House, you should swing by if you haven’t!

As the rain and wind were making a statement on Monday

Monday was rainy, windy and dreary, but the waves and tide were fun.

Went by the back Shore and the Boulevard.  The tide was so high, falling off the greasy pole would be easy.

Nella De Luca Lush | Steve Lush: An Ongoing Dialogue Exhibition Opens at COSMOS Gallery, October 24, 2025

Show Dates:
October 24 – November 16, 2025 

Opening Reception:
Saturday, October 25, 4-6pm 

Artists Gallery Talk:
Saturday, November 8, 4pm

Next up on the COSMOS Gallery walls, Nella De Luca Lush and Steve Lush — two celebrated artists with uniquely captivating portfolios of work. And yes, partners for life, working in individual artistic directions.  
 

Nella De Luca Lush 
Nella was raised in Southern Italy and paints with a color palette and surface textures that suggest classical influences. And yet, her compositions are elegantly contemporary, distilled into the essence of shapes and elements. Nella describes her genre as “representational abstract” art, blending hints of reality with the freedom of self-expression. Nella Lush 

Nella’s work has been recognized by prestigious art organizations. She is a signature member of the American Society of Marine Artists and the National Association of Women Artists, where she founded the Massachusetts Chapter. Her art is part of collections worldwide and has been exhibited at venues such as the Noyes Museum of Contemporary Art, Mystic Seaport Maritime Gallery, and Whistler House Museum. Nella is represented by White Room Gallery in NY, Centre Street Gallery in Nantucket, Cortile Gallery in Provincetown, and Thornhill Gallery in NH. 

Steve Lush 
Steve acquired an early joy of drawing from the cartoon works of Saul Steinberg in the New Yorker magazine. His subsequent passion for art blossomed in many different mediums. He was drawn to the world of model ship building, and explored watercolors, oils, collage, mixed media and welded steel sculpture. Each medium became a steppingstone in his evolution as an artist. Steve Lush  

Steve is a member of the American Watercolor Society, the Transparent Watercolor Society of America, the American Society of Marine Artists (ASMA), the New England Watercolor Society (NEWS), and the New England Sculptors Association (NESA). Steve’s art is part of many private and corporate collections throughout the United States and Italy, including the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, the Museum of America and the Sea, Mystic Seaport, Mystic, CT., the Coast Guard Art Program (COGAP), The Heritage Asset Collection at the Coast Guard Academy, New London, CT. ,the Noble Maritime Museum, Staten Is., NY., and the Customs House Maritime Museum, Newburyport, MA. 

The artists share a gallery in SoWa, 450 Harrison, Boston MA. 

An Ongoing Dialogue Exhibition 

The COSMOS Gallery exhibition will feature a wide selection of artworks by the two artists, representing their evolution over the years. The range will include large oil paintings along with more modestly priced works on paper. The COSMOS Gallery show is their first joint exhibition in many years.  

COSMOS Gallery, Gloucester 

COSMOS Gallery opened February 2025, with frequent exhibitions for mostly regional artists and no constraints on aesthetic genres. The gallery is an extension on the Cape Ann COSMOS media platform and mission to enrich the good cultural life!
