Ken Gore and Ken Knowles: Two Original Cape Ann Visions in One Auction

Two outstanding original Cape Ann oil paintings are now open for bidding in the **Carla Grillo Estate Part 2** online auction—and we want to know which one you would choose.

**Ken Gore (1911–1990)** brings the drama with *Crashing Surf on a Rocky Coast*—a powerful coastal scene with waves breaking against a rugged New England shoreline.

**Ken Knowles (b. 1968)** captures a quieter side of Gloucester in *Gloucester Harbor Sunset*, featuring a handsome schooner gliding through the harbor beneath a glowing sunset, with Gloucester City Hall rising in the distance.

Both works are original oils on masonite. One is all energy, surf, and salt air; the other is pure Cape Ann atmosphere, warm evening light, and the working harbor we know and love.

Bidding is open now in the Carla Grillo Estate Part 2 auction. Both paintings, along with high-end audio equipment, furniture, rugs, books, and other estate discoveries, sell to the highest bidder. Local Gloucester pickup only—no shipping.

Ken Gore’s *Crashing Surf on a Rocky Coast* and Ken Knowles’ *Gloucester Harbor Sunset* are both listed in the Grillo Estate Part 2 catalog details at:

There is no better relaxation for me than a bike-ride around this town. As someone "new here" (16 years) I am in awe at the number of boats in and around our harbor! Yet, those born here, and who come from Gloucester fishing families, say that compared to it's glory days, our harbor is nearly empty! So I'd love to know. What it was like back then?! How many more boats were there? If there are so few moorings available now, where did they put them all? What was the % of fishing vs leisure vessels. Could the harbor accommodate that many boats again? Thanks for indulging me!

After being here for more than 16 years, I am still able to see this town through the eyes of a “tourist”.
Because Gloucester is a natural as well as a man-made museum! Thank You
