Reflections exhibition to open Oct. 4 at Gallery One

Gallery One announced its next show, Reflections, will be open to the public Wednesday, Oct. 4, to Tuesday, Oct. 31, at 32 Atlantic Ave., Ocean View.

In Laura Hickman’s pastel, “Canal with White Hotel, Bruges,” the late-afternoon shadows enhance the architectural elements that are echoed in the colorful water.

“Autumn Reflection” artist Cindy Beyer said, “There is nothing like the fall in the upper eastern states. The changing leaves and brilliant fall colors are spectacular. The water was mostly calm, except for a slight haze from the chilly water.”

The play of light and atmosphere created by the reflections in Jeanne Mueller’s vibrant oil painting, “Sunset on the Wetlands,” is magical. “There is a brief time … when the sun sets over the wetlands that a reflection is created that is vibrant and looks unreal; this beauty is not only in the sky, but is reflected in the water below,” she said.

Lesley McCaskill’s acrylic, “Reflection of Surf and Fauna” incorporates ethereal colors reflected in both sky and sea.

The reflections in artist Ray Ewing’s oil painting, “Looking for Clams” and Joyce Condry’s acrylic, “Playtime,” create a delightful double-take of their focal points.

The use of reflections in the water in Dale Sheldon’s acrylic, “The Yellow Door,” evokes a sense of atmosphere and of place. “This colorful crab shanty on Tangier Island in Chesapeake Bay is reflected in the water. Near it lies the last remnants of another dock,” she said. Her painting features reflections and also reflects a former time.

Always staffed by an artist, Gallery One is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day.
