We have fallen in love with this high-toned, post-Impressionist work called “The Apple Tree (Gloucester)” by the little known Susette Inloes Schultz Keats, and probably painted in the 1910s. Keast was a member of the Philadelphia Ten whose members included Theresa Bernstein and the sculptor Harriette Whitney Frismuth. The Philadelphia Ten was a collective established by women artists who were excluded from selling and showing by their male counterparts. Further proof that there are so many fine female artists still to be discovered. Not ours but wish it were. #artoftheday #philadelphiaten #femaleartist #postimpressionism #impressionism #paintingoftheday #gloucesterma https://www.instagram.com/p/CAENMEUg3Xf/?igshid=q8rm1bmq8yb9

I took myself to Gloucester to sketch today. It was lovely.

Gloucester MA lobster trap Christmas tree. Someday I'll get more of them. I love finding some whimsy in winter and all the #lobster #bouys on the tree are created by local children #gloucesterma #gloucester #capeann #newengland #newenglandchristmas #lobstertraptree #lobstertraps #nauticalchristmas #christmaslights #holiday #IGMassachusetts

"When your journey is long and difficult to bear, look to the griffons and find your strength there." One of my pieces for the art show 'Beyond the Horizon' is nearly there! I think my favorite part of this piece is texturing the feathers in ink.

While visiting Gloucester this weekend, I did a quick sketch of the commuter rail station, for old times’ sake.
