Jeff Weaver painting on Pleasant Street

I was walking down the Pleasant Street several days ago when I saw him with his easel on the sidewalk, almost right across Prospect Street from St. Ann’s School. ย He courteously let me snap a photo of him while he worked – apparently, I was something like the 15th person to photograph him that day… He has a gallery at 16 Rogers Street here in Gloucester (openย Friday and Saturday 1-5 p.m.,ย also by chance or appointment). His website gives you an idea of his beautiful work. ย I haven’t made it to his gallery yet, but after perusing his web gallery, I really want to go!

Eugene J. Quinn Studio Gallery

The other day I went for a drive to get some photos of Christmas decorations at local shops. ย I tried Rocky Neck, but everything was closed and dark, so I ended up at Bearskin Neck in Rockport. Most shops and galleries were closed, but some have very nice Christmas decorations (which I’ll share in another post). ย I had the pleasant surprise of finding East Gloucester resident Eugene Quinn still in his studio with an “open” sign in the window.

We had a very nice conversation. Although he and I have never met, it turns out we have met some of the same people in the past because one of his paintings ended up at one of the places where I studied in the seminary. ย  His work is very beautiful:

He seemed to be just finishing this up when I arrived.

Stop by and visit the gallery! His work is worth seeing first-hand. His regular hours from now until Christmas will be 10AM-5PM (although he may be around off-hours at times). His gallery is at 54 Bearskin Neck Rd., Rockport, MA 01966.
