Because nothing else uses as much of you. Therefore you get more satisfaction out of it than anything else in this world.”

Phyllis McCreary’s solo show will open at the Middle Street Gallery on Saturday, August 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. and continue through August SO. The gallery, located at the center of town in Washington, is a non-profit, cooperative venture involving SO painters, sculptors and photographers from the Piedmont countryside, the only one of its kind in rural Northern Virginia. Middle Street Gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and on Thursdays by appointment. For additional information, call (70S) 675-SUO.
