All my Crossroads Gallery chores are done....... I'm just two canvases away from my first milestone of 1000 works. Red Reeds & Blue Air giclee is on the wall at the Crossroads Art Center to be picked up by its new owner.........to celebrate, it even has a red dot for fun.
Red Reeds was a big hit at the Crossroads bi-monthly Art Walk last night. Of course anyone from Richmond or whoever visited the Virginia Museum of Fine Art recognizes the Chullily "Red Reeds" installation in the Koi pond adjacent to the The Best Cafe. Red Reeds new owner "T" was there and excited to get it hung. Lots of picture taking....and I have none to share. Perhaps our mugs will show up elsewhere.

An artist friend, Betsy Kellum did something rather clever with regards to presentation and I guess marketing too. Kellum started a new series called "PIECES". PIECES are well framed small 5x7 crop details of her larger paintings. She is doing these little jewels primarily as daily warm ups. Kellum as shown below placed them adjacent to the larger originals. The small paintings look very smart as a whole on the wall. Kellum's PIECES gives the two main paintings shown below welcome separation and presence while offering a taste of her main work. What I like most is the intelligent flow she mastered effortlessly for her audience here. PIECES are well priced for a budding collector and easily acquired separately or with her larger painting.

TWO HAPPY ROSES
Photographer Bill Gilmore was giving the ladies a rose if they stopped to look at his work. He has a wonderful Paris shot I like and of course his Red Reeds from another view. I always enjoy chatting with Bill during Art Walk.

Judge, Phil Couture slipped by this little jewel but Boldbrush jury managed a 15% green frame nod. Garden Flowers is hanging at Crossroads until the end of the month and then off to the Richard Stravitz Gallery. I'll have a limited edition Giclee available to replace it at Crossroads before it leaves.
