All The Colors of Summer - Blue Whole Gallery

Description

Blue Whole Gallery, located at 129 W. Washington St. in downtown Sequim, invites the public to an opening reception on Friday, August 7, celebrating a new summer exhibition titled “All the Colors of Summer.”  Featured gallery artists Sheri Whetstine and Nancy Peet will be present during the reception, which will be held from 5:00 to 8:00pm and is free and open to all.
Whetstine brings two decades of warm glass artistry to the show. Working with flat glass that enters the kiln as one thing and emerges as another, she embraces both the precision of her craft and the happy surprises that heat and time can produce. Her work reflects the spirit of summer itself—its lingering light, saturated color, and the way warmth has a way of changing everything it touches.
Peet is a Sequim-based watercolor artist whose large-scale floral paintings are rooted in a lifelong love of color, organic form, and the natural world. Watercolor suits her perfectly—its fluidity and spontaneity allow pigment to flow and bloom in ways that mirror the living subjects she paints. Her goal goes beyond capturing a flower's appearance; she aims to carry into each canvas the happiness and sense of well-being that flowers bring to our lives.
Together, Whetstine and Peet bring a shared curiosity and commitment to experimentation that makes this exhibition a dynamic celebration of summer through their respective mediums. Visitors can expect vibrant, thought-provoking work that invites a second look.
