Spring Bouquet Artists' Reception at the Byrne Gallery The Byrne Gallery is proud to present Spring Bouquet, an exhibition by three local artists who are all new to the Gallery. Each uses a different medium in their floral paintings and expresses color in their own unique way. Margaret Farr uses the medium of watercolor on paper to render her sometimes delicate, sometimes bold floral and botanical compositions. Cathleen Lawless turns to oil on canvas to convey her delight in the new season while Carolyn Marshall Wright chooses water based media to convey the energy of Spring. The exhibit will begin on March 4th and continue through Sunday, March 29th. There will be a reception for the artists on Saturday, March 14th from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The exhibition and reception are both open to the public and everyone is cordially invited to attend. The Byrne Gallery 7 West Washington Street Gallery hours are Monday and Tuesday by appointment only Wednesday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday noon to 5 p.m. (540) 687-6986.
