“Technique enables an artist to paint, but it is love that makes any painting art.”
~ Carolyn Blish

Hardcastle Gallery Centreville is honored to host an opening reception on Friday, May 4th, from 5:30 to 8:30. Stop in and meet Carolyn Blish on opening night! There'll be plenty of work from which to choose: florals, beachscapes, children, scenes of Maine, and a few surprises, too. This internationally-known artist and author brings a spirit to her work that's sure to fill you with joy and wonder, not just from her art, but from “...the realm of nature,” as Carolyn writes, “...intoxicating our senses with all the lavish color and beauty of the earth's sounds, sights, tastes, fragrances, and textures.”*

Don't miss this very special night: Friday, May 4th, from 5:30 - 8:30. Enjoy delicious refreshments from Vicmead Hunt Club. There's plenty of parking, too.

A percentage of the net income from opening night will be donated to Ronald McDonald House of Delaware.
