My View of Life on the Dock
If you haven’t stopped into Carol McKenna’s gallery recently, you should go by and see her work and work by new artists: Kathy Chapman, Lisa Courtney, Alice Gardner, Jane Keddy and Eileen Patten Oliver.
Also, if you have been wondering what the future might hold for you, stop by for a reading with psychic, Joy Kasmer. I’m no psychic, but I see a visit to Carol McKenna’s Gallery in your future.

She said she wasn’t coming back this year. We didn’t believe it. So here she is, back again for another season on Rocky Neck in her new location (which is actually an old location that she was in years ago – Alma likes to move around). You can find Alma McLaughlin this year at her new Alma’s Art & Antiques location at 75 Rocky Neck Ave #15 (next to The Rudder Restaurant in the space that was previously Kathy Archer’s White Bird Gallery). Check out the ever-changing collection of beautiful art, jewelry, furnishings, knicknacks, etc. that she has. She also has a wonderful space on the patio in back available for adults and children to paint and create.

I didn’t know what to do with the windowbox at the gallery this year. I’d had enough of the flamingos and tiki man, and I didn’t want to deal with planting flowers. So now it has become a memorial to Evelyn, complete with a standup paddleboard , which she loved doing so much, that I made from a flipflop. She’ll be with us all season – at Mug Ups, paddleboarding, openings, dancing at Madfish and everything else we’ll do that she loved. If anyone would like to add anything to the memorial – beach stones, shells, whatever for Evelyn, please feel free.
I scheduled this post a fews days ago to run on Sunday afternoon. This morning I arrived at the gallery to discover Evelyn and her paddleboard gone. They had been glued in place, so they had been forcefully removed. I try to live by Thumper’s mother’s teaching: “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all”, but today I just can’t. To the lowdown dirty rotten scumbag that stole Evelyn and her paddleboard from this memorial to her memory, bring them back. If you return them, all will be forgiven and forgotten; don’t return them, and you have some serious shit karma to deal with.
Unfortunately, the person who did this most likely does not read Good Morning Gloucester because no FOB would do such a thing. I assume it was someone coming from Madfish last night that didn’t get a good enough dose of Groove Therapy, and maybe too good a dose of alcohol to be thinking rationally or consciously. If anyone leaving Madfish Grille last night saw or knows who did this, please let them know how badly they have hurt those of us mourning the loss of Evelyn, and that they can make it right by returning the stolen items to her memorial.

My faith and hope for the future of the art scene in Gloucester renewed after popping into Gallery 5 on Madfish Wharf
If I see another paining of a goddamn bowl of fruit I swear I’m gonna gouge my eyes out.
my suggestion- go down to Gallery 5 on Madfish Wharf, check out Jeffrey Cluett, Ben Macadam and Stephanie Williams work and rediscover what it was like for you as an artist when you had youth on your side and didn’t know any boundaries. Rules? We don’t need no stinkin rules!!! Rediscover and reconnect with what it was like to let it go and to create freely and push what is possible with whatever medium it is you work with.
This is the art that is making a difference. This is the art that inspires. This is the future. Welcome.
Kim forwards these photos along from the GMG Gallery Khan Studio get together we had before the season kicks off-
The gallery has already been very successful with just a ton of people coming through- and best of all buying stuff. Besides all the great work inside the walls of our cool ass joint, you can’t help but love the positive vibes and energy from our buddy EJ who is running the place. If you are a FOB and come into Gloucester you have got to stop in and say hi to EJ.
We’re having way too much fun aren’t we?
