March 31\, 2021 through April 27\, 2021.\nTh e artists of Gallery One are seeing Red this month\, or should I say\nthey are feeling it? Red draws attention like no other color. Red\nemotionally \, and as a design element\, screams\nDominance. If you want to draw atten tion in your composition\, use red.\nBut additionally\, red\, being the wa rmest and most dynamic of the\ncolors\, triggers opposing emotions. While cool colors like green and\nblue are generally considered peaceful and cal ming\, Red is linked to\npassion and love\, but also to power\, anger\, an d danger. Symbolically\nred is associated both with Cupid and the Devil\, and studies have\nshown that the mere color can increase a person’s\nhea rt rate\, elevate blood pressure\, and increase respiration\,\nnaturally c ausing energy levels to spike. The two techniques\, one of\nusing red as a design element to draw attention and show dominance\,\nand the other usin g red creatively to elicit and illustrate emotion\ncan both be seen this m onth beautifully depicted.\nIn creating her acrylic painting\, “The Red Seashell\,” artist\nEileen Olson\, shared how squeezing the red acrylic paint onto her\npalette immediately elicits a strong passionate feeling of power for\nher. You can both see that and feel that when you look at her work\nthis month. Red dominates the composition and the swirling shape of\ nthe seashell\, done in vibrant shades of red\, pulls you in and excites\n you. Lying on the spectrum of abstraction her work\, and that of fellow\na rtists\, Jeanne Mueller\, in Flora and Fauna\,” mixed media\, and\n“Lo ve you More\,” mixed media\, by artist Mary B. Boyd\, allows you\nto tru ly feel the Emotion of the color. The use of red as “spot\ncolor\,” to bring attention\, and to direct the eye is beautifully at\nwork in Lesley McCaskill’s\, “The Red Umbrella\,” acrylic. The\ncomposition is fil led with calming blues and\ngreens\, creating a background for the red umb rella to pop\ndramatically. Lesley also noted that in real life\, she reco mmends a\nred umbrella to keep you oriented on a crowded beach day. Also\n utilizing red for a successful design element is Laura Hickman in her\npas tel\, “Red and Green.” Red and green are complementary colors on\nthe color wheel\, (and as she notes they are also the colors of the\nflag of I taly) and being placed near one another in a painting creates\na double wh ammy. Laura’s graphic painting of a charming Italian\nstreet scene vibra tes with energy. In Marybeth Paterson’s oil\npainting\, “Red Roses”\ , our eye is immediately drawn to her lively\nsubject. While W. Scott Broa dfoot’s oil\, “Cardinal and\nPomegranate\,” delivers a classical ren dition of a red cardinal with\nred pomegranate seeds\, both of which symbo lize passion\, laid against a\nbackdrop of green.\n\nThree of our artists skirted the lines between abstraction and reality\nin their dramatic use o f red. In “Field of Tulips\,” an acrylic\npainting by Dale Sheldon\, t he artist fills our eyes with tulips. A\nplethora of octagonal shapes of v arying size and color\, but with the\ndominance of the red\, our eye is gi ven direction\, and we are filled\nwith the emotion of spring in all it is chaotic\, passionate abundance.\nIn Joyce Condry’s acrylic painting\, “Red Sails\,” we experience\ntumultuous blues\nand aqua’s and then a re snapped into focus by the electric red of\nsailboat sails navigating th e turbulent sea. And finally\, in Michelle\nMarshall’s\, “Red Glade in Evening\,” the usual benign marshland\ncatches fire in reds as the glow of sunset illuminates the landscape\,\nwith the cool blues of the water p roviding an eye-popping contrast.\nWe hope you will brave the adventure of Red this month and visit us at\nGallery One. We are open daily 10am – 5 pm.\n(Face masks and social distancing are required\, please.

Gallery One is pleased to announce the Apri
l show\, &ldquo\;The Color Red&rdquo\; open to the public. March 31\, 2021
through April 27\, 2021.
\nThe artists of Gallery One are seeing Red
this month\, or should I say they are feeling it? Red draws attention lik
e no other color. Red emotionally\, and as a design element\, screams
\nDominance. If you want to draw attention in your composition\, use red.
But additionally\, red\, being the warmest and most dynamic of the colors
\, triggers opposing emotions. While cool colors like green and blue are g
enerally considered peaceful and calming\, Red is linked to passion and lo
ve\, but also to power\, anger\, and danger. Symbolically red is associate
d both with Cupid and the Devil\, and studies have shown that the mere col
or can increase a person&rsquo\;s
\nheart rate\, elevate blood pressu
re\, and increase respiration\, naturally causing energy levels to spike.
The two techniques\, one of using red as a design element to draw attentio
n and show dominance\, and the other using red creatively to elicit and il
lustrate emotion can both be seen this month beautifully depicted.

In creating her acrylic painting\, &ldquo\;The Red Seashell\,&rdquo\; arti
st Eileen Olson\, shared how squeezing the red acrylic paint onto her pale
tte immediately elicits a strong passionate feeling of power for her. You
can both see that and feel that when you look at her work this month. Red
dominates the composition and the swirling shape of the seashell\, done in
vibrant shades of red\, pulls you in and excites you. Lying on the spectr
um of abstraction her work\, and that of fellow artists\, Jeanne Mueller\,
in Flora and Fauna\,&rdquo\; mixed media\, and &ldquo\;Love you More\,&rd
quo\; mixed media\, by artist Mary B. Boyd\, allows you to truly feel the
Emotion of the color. The use of red as &ldquo\;spot color\,&rdquo\; to br
ing attention\, and to direct the eye is beautifully at work in Lesley McC
askill&rsquo\;s\, &ldquo\;The Red Umbrella\,&rdquo\; acrylic. The composit
ion is filled with calming blues and
\ngreens\, creating a background
for the red umbrella to pop dramatically. Lesley also noted that in real
life\, she recommends a red umbrella to keep you oriented on a crowded bea
ch day. Also utilizing red for a successful design element is Laura Hickma
n in her pastel\, &ldquo\;Red and Green.&rdquo\; Red and green are complem
entary colors on the color wheel\, (and as she notes they are also the col
ors of the flag of Italy) and being placed near one another in a painting
creates a double whammy. Laura&rsquo\;s graphic painting of a charming Ita
lian street scene vibrates with energy. In Marybeth Paterson&rsquo\;s oil
painting\, &ldquo\;Red Roses&rdquo\;\, our eye is immediately drawn to her
lively subject. While W. Scott Broadfoot&rsquo\;s oil\, &ldquo\;Cardinal
and Pomegranate\,&rdquo\; delivers a classical rendition of a red cardinal
with red pomegranate seeds\, both of which symbolize passion\, laid again
st a backdrop of green.
Three of our artists skirted the lines b
etween abstraction and reality in their dramatic use of red. In &ldquo\;Fi
eld of Tulips\,&rdquo\; an acrylic painting by Dale Sheldon\, the artist f
ills our eyes with tulips. A plethora of octagonal shapes of varying size
and color\, but with the dominance of the red\, our eye is given direction
\, and we are filled with the emotion of spring in all it is chaotic\, pas
sionate abundance. In Joyce Condry&rsquo\;s acrylic painting\, &ldquo\;Red
Sails\,&rdquo\; we experience tumultuous blues
\nand aqua&rsquo\;s a
nd then are snapped into focus by the electric red of sailboat sails navig
ating the turbulent sea. And finally\, in Michelle Marshall&rsquo\;s\, &ld
quo\;Red Glade in Evening\,&rdquo\; the usual benign marshland catches fir
e in reds as the glow of sunset illuminates the landscape\, with the cool
blues of the water providing an eye-popping contrast.
\nWe hope you w
ill brave the adventure of Red this month and visit us at Gallery One. We
