Auction

I went to the Blackwood/March auction last night at Woodman’s.  I am definitely not one of the big spenders, but I did get a nice sail boat etching for Mike for $15! I also picked up a persian rug and a turkish rug for the house, nothing too special, but great deals $20 and $40 respectively. Most of the items were from an estate on Annisquam, they had a lot of great paintings and etchings from Cape Ann artists that went from $100-$3,000. It’s really a great way to furnish a house for cheap, a lot of 10 antique chairs sold for $25.  There really is something there for everyone’s price range. Remember to bring cash or a MA check, and you pay 15% buyers premium and sales tax.

Cape Ann Winter Birding Weekend

Cape Ann is known to birdwatchers worldwide for its exciting concentrations of winter seabirds.Loons, grebes, gannets, sea ducks, alcids, and gulls gather in impressive concentrations and variety, and a careful exploration of the area’s gorgeous coastal geography is quite likely to turn up such winter bird specialties as our logo bird, the Harlequin Duck. Working with the Mass Audubon Society, the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce is planning a weekend filled with opportunity for bird lovers of all skill levels to join expert guides on a tour of Cape Ann’s birding hot spots- including a sea trip on the 7 Seas Whale Watch boat the Privateer IV! Hope to see you there!

Cape Ann Winter Birding Weekend

Deb Clarke's Photo of "Tyler" WIP

From Debbie Clarke;

“WIP: Metal Leaf Drawing of Tyler, from the series: Faces I Remember.
Tyler Devlin is a young artist and patron of Bananas (the vintage clothing store where i work part time). When I saw him a few weeks ago I surprised him by asking his name, because I was working on this drawing (then called a face with no name). I promised to post the progress for him. it is 8×8”

Painters of Cape Ann

Dennis Poirier An American Impressionist Painter

 Dennis Poirier grew up in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The colors, sights, and sounds of the busy port and fishing fleet inspired Dennis. His earliest memory is of his father drawing his portrait.   Dennis says his parents always supported his art and that gave him confidence.
Dennis began to paint and soon became a part of the long line of Cape Ann’s contribution to American impressionist painters. He feels proud and fortunate to be part of the Cape Ann legacy. Please Visit Dennis’ Website  to view many of his Paintings and also for; Gallery Information , Workshop and Class Dates and Purchasing Details.
