SUMMER AT LAST

Summer is here at last in Scituate. It’s the beginning of July and the Sun has finally come out. Hopefully the rain has ended. As I sit in my office at Jack Conway Realtors in Scituate Harbor I can observe that our sleepy little town is now bustling with people. The harbor is filled with boats. The line at Maria’s Sub Shop is out the door.

I am sure that it has been like this for many years. The transformation from a quiet fishing village to bustling summer destination. At the turn of the last century a group of Impressionist Artists arrived in town to paint scenes of the Cliffs and the North River. There is a great show now at the Pierre Menard Gallery @ 10 Arrow Street in Cambridge. ‘Scenes from Vagabondia: Giverny to Scituate’. This show features artists who lived in Scituate in the late 19th century, Thomas Buford Meteyard and Dawson Dawson-Watson being the two most prominent members of this group who were based at Meteyard’s house on Meeting House Hill, a stone house that still stands today. People familiar with Scituate will enjoy seeing the beautiful and familiar landscapes of First Cliff, the North River and Peggotty Beach, just to name a few. For more information go to www.pierremenardgallery.com .
