CARLTON GALLERY 2026 EVENTS
Mid-Summer Group Exhibition
Landscapes Transformed - A Celebration of Earth's Beauty
July 25 - September 15
The Mid-Summer Group Exhibition showcases contemporary landscapes filled with fluidity and movement rendered in the style and technique of each artist. Contemporary landscapes are visual meditations on nature and human experiences, often evoking emotion and connection to the environmental and personal perception of the natural world.
Realistic landscape paintings are an accurate depiction of observation, details, and expressing the artist’s feel and regard for nature. Impressionistic landscapes focus on light, color, and atmosphere, capturing on canvas the sensory experience of a scene, while abstract landscapes transform elements into shapes, colors and forms with an emphasis on mood and conceptual expression over a literal representation of the landscape.
Exhibiting landscape painters for this Mid-Summer Group are Andrew Braitman, Egidio Antonaccio, Sharon Rusch Shaver, Amos Westmoreland, Kim Abernethy, Ed Hatch, Linda Apriletti, Kevin Beck, Cindy Shaw, Debbie Arnold, Lisa Boardwine, Karin Neuvirth, Monique Carr, Holly Glasscock, Trena McNabb, Jean Rupprecht, Sandy Fulginiti, Sharon Lampke, and Freeman Beard. These artists capture the beauty, atmosphere and mood of natural environments such as mountain peaks and valleys, streams, forests, waterfalls, skies, flora and fauna rendered in a coherent and compelling composition.
Toni Carlton extends an invitation to everyone to visit the gallery to view the moving and inspiring paintings by the gallery’s landscape artists. This exhibition runs through September 15.
