Gallery One exhibit celebrates summer through Aug. 2

June 30, 2022

Gallery One in Ocean View announced its exhibit titled Ah, Summer, will be on display through Tuesday, Aug. 2.

Henry James said, “Summer afternoon, summer afternoon. To me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.”

In wholehearted agreement, the artists of Gallery One this month portray the joys of summer on canvas and paper. Beaches, swimming pools, and sailboats at sea beckon the viewer.

“There is nothing better on a summer day than taking a nap by the pool, falling asleep to the sounds of water, songbirds, and the gentle wind in the trees,” said Laura Hickman of her pastel painting, “Ahhh, Summer.”

For artist Dale Sheldon, summer does not begin until the first crab feast has been served, as she depicts in her acrylic painting, “Old Bay.”

In Mary Bode Byrd’s acrylic diptych “Two’s Company,” she colorfully and delightfully captures a summer day at the beach with kite flying and cloud gazing.

In “Summer Read,” Lesley McCaskill reminisces about being a beach bookworm using peaceful, complementary tones of blue and peach.

Also on the beach is Cindy Beyer with her pastel, “Glistening Shore Break.” In a cacophony of blues and greens, she captures the moment an exquisitely curled wave breaks.

W. Scott Broadfoot’s oil painting, “Sail Away – Coming About,” depicts, in his classical style, sailors and spectators enjoying a sailboat regatta on the Delaware Bay. He captures the ephemeral quality of light that defines summer.

MaryBeth Paterson’s “Summer on Tilghman Island” depicts a peaceful fishing spot in the heart of the Eastern Shore on the Chesapeake Bay.

Michelle Marshall’s acrylic, “Too Cool for Summer,” uses a contemporary approach with a limited palette to depict a glamorous woman lounging poolside.

Always staffed by an artist, Gallery One is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day at at 32 Atlantic Ave., Ocean View.
