Rocky Neck Boats
My View of Life on the Dock
You can see Pete’s stuff at the Gallery now through the 23 of June. Â I’ve never seen a man with such broad artistic talent from furniture making to watercolor to sculpture and printmaking the guy can do it all. Â Amazing.
There is going to be plenty of adult beverages as well as Joey C Iced Tea.

GRAND OPENING FESTIVITIES SLATED FOR THIS WEEKEND ON ROCKY NECK’S MADFISH WHARF AT WENDIE DEMUTH PHOTOGRAPHY GALLERY!
Saturday and Sunday June 11 & 12, Noon-9:00, 77 Rocky Neck Ave, G4 on the Madfish Grille Wharf
Newly minted Gloucester resident Wendie Demuth will officially christen her first photography gallery this weekend and everyone is invited! In addition to unveiling luscious global imagery shot everywhere from Indonesia to Africa to Europe– and of course the center of the universe, Cape Ann — Wendie will be treating visitors to snacks and her newly-launched brand of proprietary ice tea that has appropriately been branded “Joey C. and Wendie D.’s Iced Tea”—in addition to other festive libations!
This gallery’s photography is as cool as the ice tea and promises to deliver the kind of wonder and curiosity only Mother Nature can concoct. Images include panoramic views of giant red sand dunes from Namibia (the largest in the world!), vivid close-ups and landscapes of Holland’s tulips, crazy colorful abstracts, and loads of other visual delights that will have you wondering whether you’re looking at a painting or a photograph– all priced so everyone can afford to decorate their spaces with a completely inspiring and original print of one size or another!
So come down to the Madfish Wharf on Rocky Neck this weekend to help Wendie celebrate her opening and eat, drink and be merry with all your fellow FOB-ers and all the other totally cool Rocky Neckers– and of course make sure to stop by the  GoodMorningGloucester Gallery–G3, right next door!!

I love how Kathleen has the flowerpot offsetting the door and the sign. Quite a lovely aesthetic. Ya think that was intentional or just luck?
I bet she knew exactly what she was doing. Beautiful!

Tonight!
Ocean currents, navigation routes, intersection of land, sea, and sky, and the imagining of what exists in the unspecified depths of water are all sources for the paintings and works on paper by Kathy Soles. They suggest the mystery of what exists below the surface, sometimes turbulent and at other times quietly serene. Learn more about Soles’ work at an introductory lecture on Monday, June 6, 7pm at the Rocky Neck Gallery, 53 Rocky Neck Ave.
Soles holds a B.A. from Emmanuel College in Boston and an M.F.A. from American University in Washington, D.C. She studied printmaking and painting at Maryland Institute College of Art and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. She has exhibited widely in both solo and group exhibitions. A professor of painting and drawing at Emmanuel College, she lives and maintains a studio in Milton, Massachusetts.

Hey Joe,
These guys were steaming around the outer harbor a few weeks ago dropping moorings. They were pretty busy all afternoon, and were hitting spots between Rocky Neck and the breakwater. I’ve never seen this rig before, have you?
Thanks,

I know I’m right on this one.
I screwed up on yesterdays post: https://goodmorninggloucester.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/sheedys-beach-rocky-neck/
Plenty of people let me know. But I do appreciate it.
I have to make sure I do my research if I post any more Rocky Neck Photos. Especially if some of us GMG Authors become Neighbors with the Hard Partying Rocky Neckers. More on that later!

Had the great good fortune to spend a Sunday morning on a friend’s deck at the very end of Rocky Neck during the 2010 Gloucester Schooner Festival. There were many vessels heading out to join the Labor Day Parade of Boats.
