The Final Four Days of Masterworks in Miniature

March Madness at Gallery One has always been about original art.  Beautiful art is such a great way to welcome spring!  It has to the power to illuminate the early days of spring that can sometimes be a little gray.  Bringing a new original into your home brings freshness even before temperatures are warm enough for you to open the windows.

Masterworks in Miniature strives to provide every genre and medium.  Whether you prefer florals, cityscapes, portraits, still life, wildlife or something whimsical you'll find it in oils, acrylics, watercolors and even sculpture.  Our artists are the most talented, best selling professionals in the business.

Spring Shadows by Terry Isaac

Let's focus on florals for example.  Terry Isaac has two original acrylic floral entries; one features daisies and one with lilies.  Diane Hoeptner, new to Masterworks, has a tulip floral and a hydrangea floral.  Amanda Carder Lovett's posey and peonies are two more examples of florals.  Simon Bull gives his floral a more modern flair.  Rowenna Anderson is usually known for her florals, but this year submitted a cityscape of Venice.

Ladies in Waiting by Lynn Ponto-Peterson

We have several still lifes in the show.  Gail MacArgle sent another outstanding oil called "A" is for Apple.  If you prefer watercolors, Lynn Ponto-Peterson has created a lovely image titled Ladies in Waiting.  Richard Plasschaert's Egg Shells is exquisite!  Jan Stommes' cold beverages would make a perfect addition to your bar area.  Marie Line Fourmont's porcelains will grace your kitchen or boudoir.

Loyalty by Jocelyn Russell

Don't overlook sculpture when decorating your home or office.  Miniature sculpture's 3D quality makes a significant impact in a small space.  Paul Brunelle's textural fired clay birds are so realistic their eyes follow your movements and you're sure they'll fly away.  Jocelyn Russell's incredibly intricate bronze of a spaniel has to be seen to be believed.  They are just two of the sculpture artists in the show.

Leopard by Lee Kromschroeder

Wildlife artists in this year's show include Sue deLearie Adair, Al Agnew, James A. Andrews, Jim Beaudoin, Susan Bourdet, Carel Brest van Kempen, Audrey Casey, Kevin Daniel, James E. Faulkner, Charles Fracé, Rod Frederick, Wilhelm J. Goebel, Shawn Gould, W. Allan Hancock, Lee Kirschbaum, Lee Kromschroeder, Susan Labouri, Rebecca, Bonnie and Karen Latham, Otto Lawson, Peter Mathios, Jan Martin McGuire, John Mullane, Ron Orlando, Harold Roe, Linda Rossin, Linda Scott, Mort Solbert and Floy Zittin.  They offer everything from birds to zebras and fit any space and budget.


 Our living spaces can and should surround us with the things we love and inspire us with their beauty.  If we put our treasure where our heart is, we're sure to be happy.  This is the true value of art.  Don't miss this chance to visit online or stop by in person and see this truly incredible exhibit before it closes this Saturday at 6 p.m.

(30 years ago)

Things are all abuzz here at Gallery One! Robert Bateman will be with us again this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.! Jen has completely re-arranged the exhibits to make way for more of his works. The exhibit is as spectacular as it always is when she gets a show ready. But this one features a huge variety of his older papers and the best selection of his newer giclées that you’ll ever find anywhere; and they’re all beautifully framed! You’ll find a big shipment of his newest book displayed on the front counter too.

Staffing arrangements have been made for refreshments, sales and security. We’ve had a technical rehearsal of the A/V equipment and believe we have everything as ready as it can be for now. Final set-up will wait for just before the show.

Even though Robert Bateman has been here 15 times before, each of his visits generate an almost electric excitement in each one of us and in so many of our clients. His long and illustrious career with his devotion to conservation and his incredible body of work is a big part of the reason. But he’s also a good friend. Don’t miss this chance to spend some time with a true legend in the world of art!  In the meantime, browse his artwork.

Save the Date – Robert Bateman Coming November 10

Artist, naturalist, activist and poet with a paintbrush, Robert Bateman returns to Gallery One this fall and we couldn’t be more excited!  This prolific artist has produced over 2,000 wildlife images and is far and away the world's premier artist of the natural world.  They’ve even named schools after him! 

White Encounter

Bateman taught high school for 20 years, including two years in Nigeria, before giving it up to paint full time in 1976.  His awards, honors, and honorary doctorates include Officer of the Order of Canada; their highest civilian award.  His influence is strongly felt through his many movies, videos and books including,  The Art of Robert Bateman, The World of Robert Bateman, Robert Bateman: An Artist in Nature and Robert Bateman: Natural Worlds and Birds.  As a spokesman for environmental and preservation issues, he uses his artwork to raise millions of dollars for these worthy causes.  Locally, he raised $33,000 for the Red Brick Schoolhouse in Willoughby.  Read more about his life in his biography.

Back in 1982, Robert made his first American appearance at Gallery One.  At that time, he was new to the U.S. art market...and yet he attracted crowds worthy of a rock star.  His loyalty to Gallery One and Gallery One collectors is notable and is matched by our fondness and respect for him, his work and his contributions to conservation.

Carl Brenders delights fans at Gallery One

The incomparable Carl Brenders paid his 13th visit to Gallery One Friday & Saturday, Sept. 23 & 24. What a treat!

In his lecture he shared insights into seven of his finest works including the two giclées produced by our new Gallery Giclées process. His fans were delighted with the quality of these two pieces. Their resemblance to originals is uncanny and the expert framing by Gallery One's Certified Picture Framers set them off perfectly.

After the lecture he mingled with those in attendance and was warmed by the presence of friends and family from near and far. It's always a pleasure to host such a fine artist and offer his collectors new images for their collections. He even hinted that he may be back next year!
