Gallery One is pleased to announce the May show, “Nature’s Whisper,” open to the public May 7, 2025 through June 3, 2025.

“Listen closely, natures’ quiet voice urges us to cherish its brief appearance. It murmurs of time’s swift passage. Every breath of the wild reminds us we’re alive, but only for a short moment of time.” W. Scott Broadfoot uses these words to describe his inspiration for his exquisite oil painting, “White Roses.“ Beautifully articulating the spirit of this month’s theme at Gallery One. Artist Joyce Condry shares Broadfoot’s sensitivity to the ephemeral nature of, well, nature, in her acrylic painting, “Cherry Blossom.” “As winter utters its final breath, and sighs into spring we revel in nature’s abundant return. For weeks we wait for the cherry blossoms to bloom, then, in a whisper, they’re gone.”

For artist Ed Lewandowski, “There is nothing so eloquent as a salt marsh at twilight, where the grasses whisper secrets to the wind, and the tide’s pulse speaks of the ocean’s heart.” (Author unknown) Ed’s oil painting, “Sequel” pays homage to this poetry. The whisper of nature can be heard speaking to us through the landscape in the works of fellow artists Leslie McCaskill, in her acrylic, “Spring on Silver Lake,” Cindy Beyer, in her acrylic, ”Whisper Don’t Whistle,”and in, “Soft Winds Blow,” an acrylic painting by artist Dale Sheldon, the beauty of our local natural scenes whispers inspiration. “Flowers blow in the soft winds as the ocean waves gently roll in. Nature at its best, calming and peaceful, a perfect space for contemplation,” writes Dale.

In “Sintra Rooftop,” a pastel painting by artist Laura Hickman, it is the natural element of wind that whispers through the architecture, “The wind races from the Atlantic, up the base of the mountain and creates, in large whispers, its mysterious aural language through the trees and rooftops of Sintra.”

For artists Eileen Olson in “Crimson Sky,” in oil, and  Laurie Fields, in her mixed media painting, “Geologic,” the abstracted landscape subtly evokes the spirit and feeling of nature. Laurie’s earthy textured painting features a blend of natural colors, whispering the secret essence of the earth and nature. In her piece she conveys the tranquility and understated elegance of the natural world by capturing the essence of nature’s subtle voice using muted tones.

Let nature whisper her secrets to you this month with a visit to Gallery One. Gallery One is open daily from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm.
