At some point in a
Gloucester Artist's career he or she must paint the back shore. There
is a scenic drive that runs about three miles along the eastern
shore of Gloucester. The locals call the "Back Shore".
The scene of this painting is painted after several days of wind and
seas. It is a spectacular place to witness the beauty of the ocean.
