Sunset Rock

SUNSET ROCK

This is our Backyard In The Snow. Great view of Sunset Rock with our Vernal Pond in the Foreground.

Due to enviromental Laws we’re not allowed to do much Lawnscaping other than mow, and trim some bushes.

When the conditions are right the Pond makes a great personal Skating rink.

In the Spring the Peepers and Banjo frogs are so loud you can hardly hear yourself.

In a Dry Summer most of the water in the Pond disappears.  The Pond is still active at that time with Blue Herrons, White Egrets,  Humming Birds,  Dragonflys, Foxes and whatever else can land on and crawl around in the Mud.

It’s a very interesting Place.

Can You Guess Why They Call it Sunset Rock?

WIP “Stranded on the Annisquam”

Here is a W.I.P.(work in progress)of a Painting I did of a boat at it’s mooring at Dead Low tide.
It’s Right around the Bend from the A. Piatt Andrew Bridge Looking North down the Annisquam River. It looks like it would get Dangerous at dead low tide there. You can see the photograph I used for reference in the third photo. The thing I like about Painting  compared to Photography is; you can add, subtract and move anything anywhere you’d like.  Opps! Sorry I forgot, some talented GMG  people  can do that with Photoshop.

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”

Quick Color Study

This is a quick Color Study I did of one of Sharon Lowe’s  Beautiful Niles Pond Photos.

I Sometimes do a few of these if I plan on doing a larger Version.

As you can see I love Broad Brushstrokes and vivid colors.

Had Enough of Winter? Think Spring!!

Cold and Gray.

Go to work in the Dark, Get Home in the Dark.

No Sunlight until the Weekend.

No Mas! Wake me when It’s over, Please!

I’m trying to think Spring.

So I went out and bought a Lawn Ornament for my Yard.

I think it’ll look great from the Street.

You can have them personalized too.

Close Up

On August 5, 2001, the Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Association (GFWA) dedicated a monument to honor the women who have been – and are – the soul of fishing communities.

As Angela Sanfilippo, GFWA president, so eloquently said at the dedication ceremony:

“The memorial serves as a testimonial to what wives, mothers, sisters, and children of fishermen of the world have endured because their men chose to be on the water. They had no choice but to stand on rock, to be on land.”

Envisioned by the wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters of Gloucester fishermen, the memorial honors not only the faith, diligence, and fortitude of the wives of fishermen and mariners everywhere but also honors all women for their unselfish contribution to the well being of their families and their communities.

Check out the Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Association Website for more information: http://www.gfwa.org/memorial/memorial.html

A Blast From My Past!

 
 
 The Glickmeister!
 
 If your also an Oldtimer you may

remember him.

Larry Glick was a Boston radio talk showhost, whose long-running show on WBZ

and later WHDH became a New England

institution in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

I Stayed up Late at night listening to him

when I was in High School in the 70’s.

He was the original Howard Stern and Art Bell put together. Maybe not as racy, but he did have his moments.

Here’s a link to a great Website where you

can listen to some of his best moments

FOR FREE!  That’s my favorite part.

What does this have to do with Gloucester?

NOTHING, other than he had a lot of Fanshere.

Were you one of them?

ENJOY!
