Gail Péan, oil painter, invites the public to a reception on Friday, June 10, 4-6 p.m. to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the National Park System (NPS). The solo exhibit "Happy 100th Anniversary NPS" will be on display in the large meeting room of Great Falls Library throughout the month of June.

"Happy 100th Anniversary NPS" features original oil paintings painted with palette knives based on photos taken by Great Falls residents Michele Krohn and Gail Péan of National Parks they have visited.

Great Falls National Park is included. It was a part of the Northern Virginia Parks system until it was transferred to the NPS in 1966.

Gail Péan is a member of Artists on the Green Gallery and Studio at 776 B Walker Road in Great Falls where she teaches oil painting to children and adults. Visit the exhibit during library hours or during the reception June 10, 4-6.
