Box 96, Bay Head, NJ 08742 www.dicklabonte.com Please refer to our ad on page 39. The Anchor & Palette Gallery had been in existence in Bay Head since the 1960s, passed down from artist Hubie Rose to artist Dick LaBonté, and then to his daughter, Anne LaBonté Neff. Representing many of New Jersey's finest artists, it was a favor- ite stop for summer visitors. After Superstorm Sandy and the massive destruction on the Jersey Shore, more time was invested by LaBonté's daughter in developing a website to introduce visitors to the world Dick LaBonté created during the last thirty years of his life. Each painting on the site has a story and a detailed description, a combination of actual historical facts and LaBonté's creative imagination. Some of the writings are from the artist's book, Dick LaBonté - Paintings of the Jersey Shore and More (published by Jersey Shore Publications - see page 8.) The rest has been added based on several books about the Jersey Shore and other research. To quote the artist, "When you look at my pictures, you are not supposed to wear a serious expression. You are expected to smile, perhaps wistfully and with a sense of loss. Often while I paint, I laugh aloud. You have my permission to do likewise."
