Exhibitions

August 5, 2026- September 1, 2026

The public is invited to experience “Bold and Bright”, a vibrant new exhibition showcasing dynamic works that embrace color, contrast and creative expression at Gallery One in Ocean View, DE. The show captures the power and emotion of bold visual storytelling, with each piece reflecting a unique perspective.

Images from overseas travel was a common thread for 3 artists. Keukenhof Gardens near Amsterdam drew the attention of Dale Sheldon in her acrylic painting, “Blue and Yellow”. For Ed Lewandowski, a sun washed lane with warm ochre walls colliding with cool, violet shadows in Tratavere, Rome, was the inspiration for his oil painting, “Trastavere”. Laura Hickman”s pastel “Sintra” displays houses climbing up the hill in Portugal, taking on a magical glow of color. The colorful array of beach umbrellas was the inspiration for Cindy Beyer in her watercolor “Kaleidoscope Canopies” where umbrellas in all sizes are shown in a birds eye orientation. The beach also inspired Lesley McCaskill’s piece “Sharing the Shore”, where strong horizontals divide the larger space, with smaller details of birds, umbrellas and people.

The vibrant red cherries in John Schisler’s oil painting “Fire and Ice”, show the a beautiful tension between heat and cold, passion and serenity and warmth and restraint. Red also plays a dominant role in “Poppy Show”, an acrylic painting by Joyce Condry, where a yard is turned into a showplace. Donna Brumbergs was captivated by the interesting shadow shapes and rich
orange color she came across on an early morning scene, in her oil painting, “Orange Crush”.

The exhibition will run from August 5 through September 1, 2026, where visitors will encounter unapologetic use of color and form to invoke energy, optimism and imagination.

Gallery One is open daily from 10-5.
