I saw Mr Vickrey's paintings a few times at Tree's Place, a gallery in Orleans, Massachusetts on the Cape. I remember few specific paintings I have seen there, but I DO remember Vickery's. They were wonderful to see in person and beautifully memorable.
This is an historical treasure. Thank you so much for posting! So much info for everyone to know. Used to stay every summer on Town Cove in Eastham with my grandparents, Lilly & Larry O'Brien starting in 1963. Larry would take me along to Mac Reeds. We loved that place, the tips we could eavesdrop on, and the people we met there. Would sleep in my clothes ready to rise from Papa's tap on the shoulder...time to Fish!!!
I always enjoyed serving David whenever he frequented the Yardarm bar. Polite, intelligent, friendly, and beloved by staff and customers alike. Sorely missed and irreplaceable.
As a fellow professional artist/fashion illustrator and painter I find his work fascinating and interesting to watch. As I was growing up and spending summers on the Cape, Robert Vickery had been our neighbor until another family bought his bungelow house. Since I was just in my teens at the time, all I remember were his blonde towhead kids outside playing around their house and decorating their split rail fence with tin foil! lol Thanks for sharing more of his work here as well, a fine artist indeed with a very unique style. I watched the film on his website and was amazed that he was able to meet those Time magazine deadline covers overnight! I also had to learn to illustrate quickly as a fashion illustrator in NYC as well and they used to time us in fashion sketch classes in art school with a timer! Fond memories down memory lane!
I am from Ireland and I worked in the Land Ho kitchens for two summers, 1987 and 1989. It is a magical place of myths and legends. John is a gentleman.
Wow, what a great video! I remember Mac Reeds Bait and Tackle very well from fishing in the 1980's and 1990's. I also specifically remember Mac sitting in that chair every time I came in. Great memories!
Grew up fishing Herring Pond in Eastham. MAC was a legend and a hell of a nice fella. he would always take a lil time to tell you a story or give you a tip!
I remember first seeing Roberts' work in the June 1993 edition of American Artist(and still have that copy). There was a painting called "After the Swim" and recall thinking "how did he get the texture on that concrete wall" and create those the magnolia tree shadows.... Still love his 14:24 "nuns, bicycles and old brick walls" to this day.
Mr. Murphy is not only a great artist, great businessman but a great human been. He is very kind, generous and always willing to help anybody. We'd like to thank him for sharing his life with us.
I was a coastie stationed in the Bay Area-San Fran in 1974. The 36 footers were being phased out but there were a few still being used that I saw. The crews didn't use the few there at the time as the 44 and 45 footers were the mainstay, but still talked about the 36 footers legendary seaworthiness in any kind of soup nature could throw at them. They were tough nuts and am proud folks today preserve and appreciate what these crews and their patrols boats do. They are Guardians of the Sea and daily live up to the motto Semper Paratus.
@Danny Stephen thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Oh my god, thank you for uploading this. This is my great grandfather, Pat is my grandmother. I am only ten minutes in, I'm expecting my father to walk through, he loved that bait shop. I would have been one.
He's my grandmothers father he doesn't mention my grandmother and the video Margaret cuz my grandmother was adopted by her mother's parents the Taylor's in Wellfleet
What a trip seeing Dave after all these years. He was a year ahead of me in school. (His brother Richard was a year behind me.) In Dave's senior year at Orleans, High, we were in French class together. In the middle of the year, for some reason I can't remember, we got a new teacher. (Actually I think Gordon Argo was the original teacher and he left), a lady whose name I can't remember. Anyway, she didn't have a class roster and she went around asking us all our names. Dave said his name was Alberto Capone. For the next month she always referred to Dave as "Mr. Capone" and the rest of us struggled to contain our laughter.
all restoration say its not what was used at the time but if modern materials that we have today were available then they would have been used so all restoration should use the best thats available thats what the original builders would have done and provided the finished object has the same visual effect as the original then thats a good restoration
Nabeel Khan When i did this edit i too was curious about his film. i googled it but had no luck. If you do any better we would love to know! And thanks for the compliment!! OHS
