September 7-29 - Steven J White - Deeper Reasons

"Sundown Symphony" watercolor, 20 x 28 inches

Opening Reception : Friday, September 7, 5:30 - 8:30 pm

Hardcastle Gallery is pleased to bring this award winning regional artist here for a full one-man exhibition in September. Steven White, a self-taught artist, has been painting since 1987. His paintings are traditional landscapes done in transparent watercolor. His emotional attachment to the outdoors motivates him to record scenes on paper as a way to preserve what he sees disappearing. He has become known for his ability to capture the beauty of nature.

Steven J. White, always drawing, always looking, a restless adventurer is a self taught watercolorist. His traditional landscapes of Pennsylvania farms and woodlands, the Adirondack Mountains and Schuylkill River Heritage areas have awarded him with regional and national recognition.

His paintings have been featured on the cover of the Montgomery County Town & Country Magazine and the Equine Marketer and in the April 2004 issue of American Artist. His painting “Saturday Morning” has been published by North Light Books in Splash 7: The Qualities of Light.

Steven has recently been commissioned to paint The Dorflinger Glass Museum/ Wildlife Sanctuary which is located in White Mills, PA.

October 5-27 - Be Still - Invitational still-life show

Opening Reception : Friday, October 5, 5:30 - 8:30 pm

Hardcastle Gallery is pleased to offer a themed exhibition depicting the "details” of life. For most people, a still-life in art conjures images of bouquets of flowers with trinkets placed appropriately close by in a pleasing arrangement. For Hardcastle Gallery we see this is a challenge for a talented group to share their interpretations of a "still-life". a close-up view of one aspect of life, a quiet room, a corner of a garden, items strewn across a table or chair…Some of our invited artists will include: Marilyn Bauman, John Bayalis, Nancy Cunningham, Jeff Gola, June Maxwell, Barbara Neville, Heather Hedin Peacock and others.

November 2- 24 - Donna N. Cusano - Further Afield

Opening Reception : Friday, November 2, 5:30 - 8:30 pm

Hardcastle Gallery is pleased to welcome back Donna Cusano for her fourth one-woman exhibition here in Centreville. Collectors of Ms. Cusano’s work will be excited by this new series of pastels as she explores color, form and reality through plein air painting. Further Afield, as the name brings to mind images of rolling lush hills, creeks and streambeds and sunlit fields is a collection of these images in their simplest form. Please join us for the Opening Reception on Friday, November 2^nd. This is a great opportunity for a first time art-buyer to meet and mingle with this very talented and collectible artist.

The title of this show suggests a physical wandering or traveling to places as yet not personally explored. Although I have visited a few new locations to paint en plein air, the images that have resulted here represent more a psychological and emotional journey through the use of colored pigment. Painted both in the studio and on location, this collection is by far my most experimental and focuses on the search for the simplest means of depicting my subject. I will be including many studies and sketches, along with more ambitious pieces, which will illustrate the process of editing basic image-making elements down to the essential.

Movement and gesture both play large rolls in this new work. - Donna Cusano

Opening Reception : Friday, December 7th, 5:30 - 8:30 pm

Hardcastle Gallery, the top gallery in the area for fine pastel paintings, is pleased to invite Tim Simboli for a one man show during December.

He and his wife, Gerry, graduated from the University of the Arts and established Simboli Design. Tim’s sister, Sara, is a professional artist based in New York City .

Raised in a creative atmosphere, Tim began to draw at an early age. He became interested in landscape painting while studying with the master painter, Tom Bostelle.

Following in the footsteps of his great grandfather, Tim spent time abroad studying painting in Rome , where he worked extensively in landscape. This work appeared in several shows in Rome and in a one-man show in the United States upon his return.

Tim has worked in a variety of mediums, but is attracted to pastel, which lends itself to the richness of color he uses to depict light and shadow.

Along with a number of private art collections, Tim has been commissioned to paint landscapes for a show at Longwood Gardens and has contributed to the Ecumenical World Conference. In 2002, Tim was inducted into the Creative Artists Network of Philadelphia.
