Appleton Farms Painting

The Mrs picked fell in love with this painting of Appleton Farms.  As many of you regular readers know we have a share  at the Farm and she goes every week with The Bean and Snoop Mad.  This painting had been hanging in the “share room”  and from what she tells me she had admired it every time she saw it.

About five years back while on vacation in Naples, we saw a painting that struck both of us.  We didn’t buy it and have gone into the gallery every year since in search of it but its not there.

So when she told me about this particular painting and how much she loved it I told her I’d get it for her for her Christmas present.

So now you know what’s hanging over the mantle.

The Bean and Snoop Mad At Mark Teiwes’ Faces Of The Waterfront Exhibit

Mark Teiwes’ seARTS Faces Of The Waterfront Show at Captain Joe and Sons

We had about 150 people come through for Marks showing Saturday Morning.

People came by boat and by car.  There were several skiffs tied off to the front of the dock including Tina and Terry Greel’s.  That was pretty cool, I don’t know too many places around where you would pull up on your boat to view an art exhibit.

Do You Know About CACC?

Do you know about Cape Ann Community Cinemas and their 60 films in 33 days project at The Gloucester Stage Company 267 East Main Street (a couple doors down from Last Stop Variety on the way down to Rocky Neck)?

I’ll be featuring their daily lineup of film schedules each day throughout their run.

Thanks go to Robert Newton who brought it to my attention.

This from the Mass Bay Film Project and Festival Website-

“First and foremost, we are film fans, and we like to get people excited about watching films. Not necessarily in the “I can crank my new home theater system can so loud that it will make you have to go to the bathroom” kind of way, but in ways that matter. We bring independently produced films to local audiences (and theatre owners) who might not otherwise discover them, and whenever we can, we’ll bring the folks who made the films, too. And the more people we can excite enough about the filmmaking process to want to pick up a camera and tell a story of their own, the better.

Robert Newton, one of the founders of The MassBay Film Project & Festivals, is a working film critic for a number of websites, newspapers and magazines, including WorcesterMovies.com and The Christian Science Monitor. He is an award-winning writer and novelty recording artist, whose debut album, “Monkey Bismuth,” was a favorite on “The Dr. Demento Show” (see link at left) and had a song featured in the indie comedy, Rutland U.S.A.

CT Coppersmiths Codfish Find At The Dress Code

Here’s the signature on the back of the codfish.  It’s a nice touch.

I know many Gloucester retailers read these pages.  I wonder if anyone would like to carry his line.  There’s a thing about fish art in Gloucester.  Most times people make fish art but they in no way shape or form resemble anything that is caught off our shores.  Usually they are some weird bastardized generic fish that has nothing to do with the fish that built this city back in the day.  This Codfish is a great recreation of what was once the backbone of Gloucester’s economic engine.
