If there was a manual way of putting multiple columns of images that would be an alternative. Do you know off hand if Modularity Lite theme supports attachment pages?

Unfortunately there isn't a way to automatically have the description for images show in the gallery.

Having the description appear on attachment pages is an option for themes but it's not a default feature.

I would like to either display the description or have a way to add about 3 lines of text within the caption with page returns so the text is on different lines. Example:
Sweet Ride
Acrylic on canvas
20 x 20 in.
