Tonight Awesome Gloucester put a bow on mural number ten.

Friends, neighbors, artists, supporters, and a whole lot of Awesome people gathered at Gloucester Rental Center to cut the ribbon on our newest mural: Winslow Homer’s “The Fog Warning,” brought to enormous scale by Josh Falk and Dana Woulfe.

Homer sketched the Gloucester fishing fleet in the summer of 1884, working in charcoal aboard the schooners themselves, and those drawings became this painting. A fisherman sits alone in a dory with his halibut. The fog is coming in. His schooner is far off on the horizon. He has only his own strength to get himself home.

Now, 142 years later, he is back in Gloucester, big enough to see from down the street.

There is something fitting about what it took to get him here.

Homer painted a man doing the work on his own, and it took most of a town to put him on this wall.

Pat and Taylor of Gloucester Rental Center gave us the wall, then loaned us the equipment to reach it and helped pay for the work besides, which is about three more yeses than anyone thinks to ask for.

Cape Ann Savings Bank and the Gloucester Rotary Club helped fund the project.

All Awesome Gloucester trustees kicked in cash, with several kicking in extra: Susan Coviello, Bonnie Fendrock, Lucy GillRd, Jonathan Golding, Shawn Henry, Walt Kolenda, Julie Lafontaine, Kerry McKenna, Gail Sarofeen, and Sal Zerilli.

And Josh and Dana did what they have now done ten times: took a piece of art connected to this place and made it part of the place again.

Tonight we cut the ribbon, took the pictures, thanked the people who made it possible, and celebrated another wall transformed.

Ten murals now stand in Gloucester and Rockport because, ten times over, people have said yes. Yes to the wall. Yes to the money. Yes to the work. Yes to the slightly crazy idea that something beautiful ought to be where everybody can see it.

And now Homer’s fisherman is back in Gloucester on a wall that took a whole lot of people to make possible.
