“Capturing the Moments,” a solo exhibition of new work by Margaret Gerding will come to Edgewater Gallery on the Green, 6 Merchants Row in Middlebury, on Aug. 19. This is Gerding’s latest collection of coastal scenes and those of rural Vermont. She conveys a sense of peace and quiet beauty through her soft brushwork and color blending but she also is able to render the drama that happens as the light changes the skies and affects the look of the landscape. Through her skillfully added detail and accents of vivid color the viewer feels the excitement of a fleeting, breathtaking moment in a New England day. On view through Sept. 26.
