Virginia Landscape Art Exhibition for The month of October 2016 at The Byrne Gallery

Saturday, October 1, 2016 @ 11:00 am - 5:00 pm
|Recurring Event (See all)

The Byrne Gallery, 7 W. Washington St.
Middleburg, 20117

The Byrne Gallery will be featuring beautiful Virginia Landscape paintings by two nationally recognized landscape artists.
The exhibition will be on for the entire month of October 2016. The will be a special reception for the artists on Saturday, October 8th, 2016
from 5 PM to 8PM at The Byrne Gallery in Middleburg, Virginia. The event is free and everyone is invited to attend.

Gerald Hennesy, a native of Washington, D.C., attended the Corcoran School of Art on a scholarship. He began his art career as a newspaper artist, but after Naval duty during WW II and Korea, he began devoting himself exclusively to fine art painting. Since 1972 he has maintained his studio at the home he built in Virginia.

Gerald paints primarily in oil in an impressionistic style, working both in plein-air and in his studio. It is important that a subject chosen for a painting be exciting to him, so it will then also be exciting and interesting to the viewers of his completed piece. Once a scene has been selected and the composition sketched in, Gerald paints rather rapidly, while attempting to achieve a freshness of color and expressiveness in his brushwork. He is particularly concerned with depicting the effect of light on his landscape and seascape subjects.

Jim Rodgers was born in northern New Jersey. Mr. Rodgers studied at the Art Students League in New York City and also attended the Ridgewood Art Institute where he studied landscape painting. Mr. Rodgers paintings focus on the essential details emerging from a cohesive mass augmented with poetic highlights evolving into a hybrid fashioned from painterly and impressionistic inspirations in a contemporary sense.

Mr. Rodgers paints a wide range of subject and subject matter: from lush American and European landscapes to intimate genre paintings as well as elegant and sophisticated still life and floral renderings. His paintings reflect richness in tone and color in his style that comes from over 30 years of professional study and numerous sojourns throughout America and Europe.

The Barns at Rose Hill, 95 Chalmers Court
Berryville, VA 22611 United States

There will also be an Artist Reception on the final day of the exhibit – Saturday, October 29 from 6:00 to 7:00 PM.

About the Artist: It has been 25 years since Tia Maggio moved from the Big Apple to (then) rural Loudoun County Virginia, and where she raised her two children. Currently she resides in bucolic Millwood, a place that has provided much inspiration. Her pastels of sloping Piedmont hills and skies have been exhibited locally in Northern Virginia and New York City, and are in private collections in the U.S., Italy, Southern France, and most recently, Guatemala. Tia pulls her inspiration from nature as “it is the only thing that really makes sense to me – wild sunsets, storms, brambles and branches.” Once described as a tonalist, she describes herself as a nature based expressionist.

Ashby’s Gap, Paintings by Tom Neel

Thursday, October 13, 2016 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Hill School, 130 S. Madison St.
Middleburg, VA United States

Tom Neel celebrates his 28th year by paying tribute to one of the most iconic Piedmont landmarks, Ashby’s Gap.  This geographical gateway, is nestled softly in the Blue Ridge Mountains, bordered between Loudoun and Clark counties, traversed by U.S. Route 50 and crossed by the Appalachian Trail. But from a scenic and artistic perspective, it is a tranquil monument to life here, as settings of country life with it as a backdrop are numerous even from miles away.

Acclaimed for his landscape paintings of the Piedmont, fine artist Tom Neel brings this show, the first of its kind to singularly celebrate Ashby’s Gap to life.  Hosted by The Hill School in Middleburg, his oil paintings will be featured in the Sheila C. Johnson Performing Arts Center with an opening reception Thursday, October 13th, 6:30PM
