The opening reception for my final show at Lounge Gallery in Lafayette, LA, was last weekend. As Brooks Dufrene and I hung the show, there was a bittersweet feeling in the gallery space that I have curated shows for going on four years now. Brooks and I were hanging and tagging and photographing what is my final show at the gallery. Being a part of the Lafayette art world since 2009 has been so very rewarding and through getting to know artists, putting together shows, running shows, and learning more about art, I am now at the next chapter in my life and career. This chapter which begins in August is the fulfillment of a long time goal of obtaining a Masters Degree in Art and Design History and that is what I will be doing for the next two years at Parsons/The New School in New York City! </div>

Moving back to New York was not necessarily our plan. It has just worked out this way because of school. We will be going back to our old way of life of dividing our time between New York and Lafayette which serves as a great respite from NYC life. </div>

I am proud of the work I have done in Lafayette since 2009 and look forward to continuing the work with the six artists for which I serve as agent as I expand their world via the expansion of my own art world career.<br />

After one too many lackluster show and gallery visits, I was beginning to be a bit disillusioned with the Atlanta gallery scene. I stopped by Gregg Irby Gallery and Anne Irwin Fine Art last week and my faith was restored. Both galleries had fantastic shows going on with really wonderful work on display. It was Brian Coleman's paintings at Anne Irwin that led me to say, "This is the best body of work I have seen in Atlanta in three years. This work is exciting. Shouldn't art be exciting?", to Anne Irwin and Emily West as I walked around the gallery several times taking each piece in.<br />
<br />
My immediate reaction to the work was what I wrote to a client when I found the perfect piece for her bedroom. "There is a lot of energy and emotion in this piece", I said about "Even Though The Moment Passed Me By". And that energy and emotion comes through in every piece by Coleman.<br />
<br />
When I began selecting images for this post and spent some time on Anne Irwin Fine Art's website, I found what Brian Coleman, Charleston artist, wrote about this body of work which he titled, "From The Head To The Heart To The Hands":<br />
<br />
"Music helps me tap into my present, past and unknown emotions that flow throughout each canvas. Heading straight into the happiness and pain that exists or did exist creates the paintings and drawings. From the head comes my abstract drawings and knowledge of balance, color and line. The heart is a rage of passion, love, hurt, truth and the unknown. My hands are the tools that allow me to navigate around the surface and create goodness. These creations are environments where pieces connect or drift away like our surroundings and lives that are forever changing."<br />
<br />
This post includes my favorites from the show. If you are in Atlanta, be sure to stop by Anne Irwin Fine Art on Miami Circle and ask to see all of Brian Coleman's work. <br />

As I wrote earlier this week in a biographical statement that I had to submit, "Helping artists develop and be successful has been profoundly rewarding." It <i>has</i> been rewarding and for as long as it continues to be, I will do what I do for and with artists. I am very proud of the eight artists in the show this year. Each artist has their own voice and communicates differently through the work they have completed over the last year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are three pieces by each of the artists. The show will have over 70 pieces so this is truly just a soupcon of what to expect.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In March of 1999, a 24 year old boy from South Georgia went to New York City to find an internship to turn the dream of moving to New York after graduating with a degree in Interior Design from Georgia Southern University into a reality. Three interviews were scheduled at the D & D Building showrooms Grey Watkins, Hinson & Company, and Donghia.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Internships were offered by Donghia and Hinson & Company. One paid, one unpaid. Momma had told her son that he must secure a paid internship. Anxious, that boy went back to his hotel room after the interviews and called his Mom. And said these words, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Mom, I was offered two internships. Donghia offered me a paid internship and Hinson offered me an unpaid internship but I really want to work for Hinson. It just feels right. Mr. Hinson is Southern, he's from North Carolina, and I loved meeting him. And I love the showroom. It's so good looking. I really, really want that internship."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The best advice <i>my</i> (yes, I was that boy) Mom ever gave me went something like this:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Well, son, I don't know what to tell you except you are going to have to call Mr. Hinson and tell him that you have to have a paid internship and you really want to work at Hinson, it feels right and all that, and it's what you want, but your Mom told you that you have to be paid."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh my goodness. Was she serious? Did I really have to call Mr. Hinson and tell him that? YES, I did and it worked! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And in May of 1999, a U Haul truck arrived in NYC (driven all the way from Statesboro, GA, to New York City!) and in that truck were Mom, Scott Durden, and me. And in Scott and I moved to a FIFTH floor walk-up (that means no elevator -nothing but stairs to the 5th floor!) all of our worldly belongings while Mom stayed downstairs to keep anyone from stealing anything and to make sure the truck didn't get a parking ticket.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And a few days later, I became an intern in the New York flagship showroom of Hinson & Company, the renowned wallpaper and fabric company. And it was great, I loved it. And only a few weeks later, I was hired full-time and I worked there for seven months before deciding that I majored in Interior Design and I should work for a residential design firm. And I worked for two design firms over the next three years</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And in 2003, I was back at Hinson & Company, first as a part-time sales associate in the showroom while I executed design projects for Jeffery McCullough Interior Design the rest of the time and then as Showroom Manager for a couple of years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All in all, I spent half of my New York full-time living years as an employee of Hinson & Company. And I loved it. I really, really loved it. I only left in 2006 because Tim and I decided not to live in New York full-time and began splitting our time between New York and Louisiana. If that had not happened, I would not have left my position at Hinson & Company. And I regretted it for several years. Until there was no longer a Hinson & Company showroom. Until I would, most likely, not have had a job any longer because the company was acquired by Brunschwig & Fils.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From 1999 to 2014, Harry Hinson and I have had a very special relationship. One that began when he saw something in me in 1999 that he liked and continued while I was employed by his company and when I was not employed by his company when, each year, on March 30th we talked to wish each other Happy Birthday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A relationship that continued when I would make it a point to see him on my trips to New York, including lunch earlier this year. And email correspondence that covered so many topics (mainly, my inquiring about a particular person or product from the past and needing his encyclopedic knowledge of design history) and was quite regular. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On Friday, I received the news that Mr. Hinson had died. I had planned to email Mr Hinson this weekend to let him know that we are coming to New York in October and I would love to have lunch with him and Tripp, his partner. I so looked forward to another visit with the two of them. There is so much that I want to ask Mr. Hinson, so much I still need to discuss with him. So much gratitude for him that I need to express.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I can't do that now. But what I can do is remember and honor the design industry genius that he was. And do whatever I can to make sure that the company, the products, the man are not forgotten for as long as I can. And hope that others will do the same and there will be great features of Hinson designs for years and years to come in all of the major design world publications.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So what will Hinson & Company and Harry Hinson be remembered for?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It could be fabric. Solids, textures, geometric patterns, prints were all wildly successful. The fabrics of Hinson & Company deserve their own feature and will get one next week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have a feeling that if Mr. Hinson's wish comes true, wallpaper is what Hinson & Company will be remembered for.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The photo above is from a 1996 article about Mr. Hinson and in that article, about wallpaper, he says:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"It is what I love best in all the world. You'll notice we're called a wallpaper and fabrics firm, rather than 'fabrics and wallpaper' like the other houses. And half of our sales are in wallpaper, a ratio that's at least double the norm. It's no trade secret that the heart of this company is my boundless, insatiable fascination with wallpaper."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are so many Hinson wallpapers that I could feature and some I will in future posts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the mid-2000's, I would have said "Madagascar Cloth", the grass cloth on the walls in the above photo of Mr, Hinson, was the one pattern for which everyone would remember Hinson & Company but too many companies have ripped that off and are producing it now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Will it be the "Spatter" pattern introduced in the early 1970's and called an "American Icon" design by <i>House Beautiful</i> magazine?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Eddie Ross used "Spatter" in Blue in the Bloomingdale's window he designed...</div>

There are so many options that one could say will be <i>the</i> stand the test of time Hinson product and time will tell what that is.<br />
<br />
No matter what anyone remembers about Hinson & Company, I hope the man, Harry Lee Hinson, as Southern as they come, will be remembered and considered a legend, an icon of the design industry for all of time. All accolades are well deserved. May time not wash away the history that is so important, and special, is my prayer.<br />
<br />
Rest in peace, HLH. I will miss having lunch with you in October, I will miss talking to you on March 30th, I will miss you dearly.<br />

At different points in life the feeling of wanting to be anywhere but here, wherever here happens to be at that moment, is so real and strong that I feel it with every bit of my being. Life, very real life, has been intense over the last few weeks and the desire to escape to more pleasant ground has been palpable. Fortunately, I work with talented artists and receive images of beautiful paintings on almost a daily basis. And so the escape happens exactly when it seems I most need it when an email comes in with an image of a completed piece that takes me on a little vacation in my mind.<br />
<br />
I can always count on one of those moments of respite anytime I open an image by Louisiana painter KELLI KAUFMAN. And it seems that art collectors receive the same gift from Kelli whenever they connect with a piece and know that it has to live in their home to take them on a peaceful trip every time they look at the piece.<br />
<br />
So thank you, Kelli Kaufman! I needed some time this morning to just be in a few of your paintings to meditate and hit the pause button to soak in the peace that comes through them.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my favorites that are currently in the inventory of the galleries that represent this incredibly talented artist. Enjoy.....<br />

<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks to foot surgery in November, the last couple of months have been rather unpleasant at times. I am looking forward to the New Year with lots of exciting work with artists and projects and posts that I will be doing!</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am starting the New Year off with a bang with the opening of "The Artists of Jeffery McCullough Art & Design Consulting" Show at LOUNGE GALLERY in Lafayette, LA. During Lafayette's 2nd Saturday Art Walk next Saturday, January 11th, new work by eight artists will be shown. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am very fortunate to work with many talented artists and this show includes Jacob Broussard, Page Jones Davis, Kelli Kaufman, Caroline Chunn McCarthy, Anne McLeod, Connor McManus, Linda Moncla, and Laurence Young--artists from Louisiana, South Carolina, Alabama, and Massachusetts.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are two pieces by each of the artists. This is just a preview of the fantastic paintings in the show. If you are in Louisiana next Saturday, be at LOUNGE GALLERY on Buchanan Street in downtown Lafayette for the opening reception which is from 5:30-8:30. And, as always, if you would like more information or additional photos of any of these pieces, let me know. If you cannot make the opening but would like to see the show in person, please contact me to make an appointment.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wishing you a very happy 2014 filled with great art!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Being at The Jewish Museum in New York two weeks ago to see the "Chagall: Love, War, and Exile" show brought back memories of the last time I was at the museum. And that led to memories of another show. A powerful show will do that. The Chagall show is incredible--moving and haunting-- and I will write about it on another day. If you are in New York between now and February 2nd, be sure to see the show.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The experience of seeing "Picasso: The Cubist Portraits of Fernande Olivier" at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, was everlasting. Ten years later and I wish I could stand before those pieces and have that feeling again, the moment of exhalation in front of a piece after recovering from the first glance which had taken my breath away. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">"Between spring and fall 1909, Picasso produced more than 60 portraits of his companion, Fernande Olivier, in a variety of formats and mediums. In its intense devotion to a single subject, the series is virtually unprecedented in the history of portraiture. Powerful and melancholic, these portraits are among the most compelling in the history of modern art. This exhibition brings together some 50 of the related works, revealing Picasso's exploration of cubism and his radical reformulation of human physiognomy."</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">KEY WORDS: "radical reformulation of human physiognomy". Experiencing the beauty of another human, a woman loved by the artist, presented in this style was new to me and a bit uncomfortable at first. Breathtaking yet uncomfortable and then mesmerizing, beguiling, wonderful.</span></div>

"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #272727; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;">For almost fifty years, the American painter Alex Katz has painted a series of portraits of his wife, Ada. These paintings have attained an iconic status and are unprecedented in their focus on a single figure over so many decades. Katz's portraits of Ada also raise fascinating questions about his methods and intentions: How much do these paintings reveal and how much do they conceal about their subject? How does the artist convey such vitality on his canvases? And how does Katz's work fit into the history of portraiture and the art movements of the 1960s and beyond?</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #272727; font-family: arial, helvetica, verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px;"> </span></div>

As the art historian Irving Sandler wrote in 1998, Ada "is woman, wife, mother, muse, model, sociable hostess, myth, icon, and New York goddess." The exhibition includes formal portraits, group scenes, and small paintings depicting Ada with husband Alex and son Vincent, and Ada in social and outdoor settings. To view this enthralling body of work is to understand the cycles of daily life and and the continual self-examination and reinvention of the relationship between a great artist and and his lifelong muse."</span><br />

The room is well designed, interesting, pretty. But it's the painting to which my eye is immediately drawn. I learned that the artist is Sally Michel, the wife of Milton Avery. Neither cubism nor realism, this piece of a woman lounging with her bushy tailed cat is whimsical. Colorful, bold, abstract with the face left unfinished. </div>

That same Summer in Provincetown, I met Laurence Young. I loved his work and selected a piece for the same Lafayette client who has Cynthia Packard's piece. I met with Laurence at his studio and was immediately blown away by this piece:</div>

Again, colors, texture, depth, composition. AND, Laurence Young studied with Cynthia Packard. I knew I had to do something with this artist. I knew his work would have an audience outside of Provincetown and the Northeast. And now both VIEW GALLERY in Ridgeland, MS, and GREGG IRBY FINE ART in Atlanta, GA, have figurative pieces by Laurence Young.</div>

Known for her landscapes, Kelli Kaufman created a series of nude figurative pieces after studying with Laurence Young in 2010 and Cynthia Packard this past Summer. About painting nudes, Kelli wrote:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #365f91;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I enjoy painting them because they are new to me. It’s been a process of exploring new
territory, out of my usual comfort zone, and that’s exciting to me."</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #365f91;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For Kelli there is a release, a freedom, from painting landscapes. And an entire show was devoted to figurative work.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Silhouette" opened at Kelli Kaufman Studio and Gallery in Lafayette, LA, in September of this year and received great praise. </span></div>

And then there is Jacob Broussard, a 20 year old art major at University of Louisiana at Lafayette. When a gallerist saw Jacob's work earlier this year, she said, "this isn't learned. It is innate in him." Phyllis Geary of VIEW GALLERY in Mississippi was talking about Jacob Broussard's incredible command of the human figure and flesh and facial expressions and capturing life in a painting.</div>

Often working from archival photographs from his family's stash of 1940s and 50s photos, Jacob brings a familiar moment in time to today. So much so that the viewer feels connected to the figure, the man, the woman, who has been elevated to receiving full attention and focus in Jacob's paintings.</div>

"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow';">it's a 1947 image of my grandfather with his biker gang as a child. It's been part of an investigation I've developed this past semester, I was looking for different ways towards approaching flesh with paint; as I was researching different artists, I was thinking of a spiritual sense of flesh, family lineage, reincarnation, different flesh, but same spirit sort of work. Since looking at old photographs and reproducing many copies, I wanted that to become incorporated within the painting, so I duplicated the faces and hands, almost a literal interpretation of reproducing yourself from your ancestors. My grandfather is a paraplegic now, he lost his right leg 7 years ago on my 13th birthday. I wanted his leg to be a focus, exposed area of the painting, being that he lost flesh on a day of significance, a day of reproducing of his own flesh (my birthday). This commemorative painting addresses boyhood, domestic life, the age of lost innocence."</span></div>

have the Underworld and the river Styx almost as this rundown, pull apart junk
yard, very southern slums. I have Orpheus walking forward, leading Eurydice out
of the Underworld, trying not to look back at her; Eurydice is out of the picture
frame, making the focus Orpheus. I wanted to capture the shift in glances as he
becomes doubtful of her presence and turns to see if she even exists, and
ultimately, leading to her downfall.”</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow';">The query got my mind rolling. I started thinking about the masters, the designers whose work I admire, and how they use blue and white. Anyone can take a bunch of blue and white fabrics and throw them all in a room and say they work because they are all blue and white. But can we say BOOOORING if the tones are all the same?? It's when another color is thrown into the mix that rooms come to life. The balance that is necessary happens with the mixing of tones. Period. It has to be done.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In an article in <i>Veranda</i> in 2008 when the book came out, about the classic color combination, Roehm says:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"blue and white form nature's quintessential color combination. Blue and white are, she explains, the look of pristine snow against deep blue Aspen skies; spires of blue and white delphinium in a garden; Connecticut's spring mornings where the apple blossoms and nodding heads of white narcissus are in contrast to soft blue skies and vibrant green grass."</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hmmm....so it does take another color to make this really work? YES. The pop of the "vibrant green grass" is what makes the blue sky and narcissus so beautiful. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And in the NYC Master Bedroom, the turquoise and aqua in the Navy walled room with crisp white trim and ceilings work like the green grass with the apple blossoms and white narcissus and blue sky as described by Ms. Roehm.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But how do the masters of design create brilliance in the blue and white world? It only takes a look at rooms by BILLY BALDWIN, MARIO BUATTA, TODD ALEXANDER ROMANO, a Herrera (of the Carolina Herrera family), ASHLEY WHITTAKER, MEG BRAFF, and LINDSEY HARPER to see that it just works. Those names in all caps are some of the best of the best designers from the past to the present and here is what they have done...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In what is quite possibly the chicest room of all time, the late great Billy Baldwin, showed why he is considered "the most influential American designer of this century", quote from <i>House Beautiful,</i> November 1999 issue, with what he created at Villa La Fiorentina, the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Harding Lawrence (he being the founder and CEO of Dallas-based Braniff Airlines), in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France. FAB-U-LOUS! While all of the sofas and lounge chairs are upholstered in the same medium hued blue, the rug is navy and white and the ebony coffee table, basalt ware urns, and gilded ebony desk give visual weight and balance, the way the indigo background curtains will in NYC bedroom, to the otherwise all blue and white room. In the October 2012 issue of <i>House Beautiful</i>, Alexa Hampton said, "This could have been done last week." In other words, it's timeless and still oh so chic. And it was designed in the late 1960's!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh, Mario. The "Prince of Chintz". The Prince of everything! In design school in the 90's, it wasn't possible to talk about good design without referencing this hysterically funny man who has been lauded over and over, and deservedly so, as creating some of America's best rooms. In a recent </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Architectural Digest</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, an article titled, "Master of Ceremonies", looked at the homes of Hilary Geary and Wilbur Ross, long-time clients of Mr. Buatta. This is the living room of the Ross's Southampton, NY, home which sings, sings, sings swathed in a liberal amount of Brunschwig & Fils' "Verrieres" fabric which has about every tone of blue there is. And small doses of pink and green cut the blue and provide visual breaks from the print flowing around the room.</span></div>

Look at the photo and then scroll back up to the images of the scheme for the NYC bedroom. Thanks, Todd, for the inspiration! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like any big city, Atlanta's art scene is vast and diverse. There are many galleries in different areas of the city--some congregated with other galleries, some in cavernous spaces, some specializing in traditional art and some featuring contemporary art. Slightly off the beaten path, tucked behind a church, sits a cottage style building that houses a gallery that, upon opening eight years ago, carved out a niche of the strong Atlanta art market and is doing its own thing and doing it very well. GREGG IRBY FINE ART is in upper Buckhead, the area of the city known to be desirable and quite posh, near Chastain Park. One could drive by 3725 Powers Ferry Road and never see the gallery behind Sardis Methodist Church. The fact that the gallery is a bit hidden hasn't hurt the success of the gallery one bit as Gregg Irby has solidified a reputation as being one of the top galleries in Atlanta.</span></div>

Collectors in those areas look forward to the Gregg Irby Fine Art show each year and know that they will buy a piece or two or three when Gregg comes to town with the paintings by her strong stable of artists. Emerging for the artists represented by Gregg Irby doesn't just mean new to the art scene. Carefully selected, the artists in the GIFA group are from all over the country and "emerging" means new to the Atlanta art scene, as in the case of Joy Gardner and Laurence Young, who are both accomplished artists that Gregg began representing last year and has done a fantastic job of getting their work in the homes of collector clients of GIFA.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And there is Gregg, the Columbia, South Carolina, native and mother of two, who is stylish and lovely and confident about what she is doing in the art world. With an MBA from Georgia State post undergraduate work at Hollins and University of South Carolina, Gregg Irby became a private art dealer in 1996 hosting shows in her home in Atlanta and on the road in Charlotte, Charleston, Nashville, Huntsville, and Houston. Gregg Irby Fine Art (GIFA), the gallery, became a reality in 2005. The media loves Gregg Irby and the artists that the gallery represents. Recent press includes </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Atlanta Magazine, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Magazine, </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Scout Guide, Things that Inspire blog, The English Room blog, and House of Turquoise Blog. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most important to the equation of a successful gallery is a strong group of artists and Gregg Irby has 32 of those at the moment. All are great artists but seven are outstanding. This group includes artists ranging in age from twenty something to sixty something, from Alabama to Georgia to Louisiana to New Jersey and Massachusetts, and from works on paper to works on canvas to works on wood and a price range of $ 80 (yes, you read that right) to $ 3,200. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although she is known primarily for her paintings of trees and forests, at an opening reception earlier this year Sara Cameli made it clear that her heart is in the abstract paintings that she executes and she would love to do more abstract work. </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Waters Edge</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> was painted after Sara spent time at a very special place for her, her Grandmother's house and property in the Berkshires.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You really have to go beyond the good part of your painting and then rescue it. And that's when it becomes more. If you were just being safe and making what you initially thought was right or perfect or a great composition then you never know what could have been if you didn't kind of push it, ruin it a little, and then bring it back." </span></div>

Louisiana artist Candace Greer recently did a series of abstract pieces that have been so successful that there are only a few left and GIFA has them. These pieces, which are mixed media on wood panel, immediately bring the serenity and peace that only sitting on a porch looking out at the ocean in mediation during a rain storm can bring.</div>

Eva Magill-Oliver's collage pieces are exquisite. Period. At only $ 80 each, it would be easy to assemble a series of four or six or more for a stunning statement in a room. A sense of time and place and movement through nature is felt when looking at this artists work.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #191414; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Nature has always provided me with a source of inspiration and equilibrium, and continues to be a major influence in my most recent body of work. These landscapes are representations of my current transitional state after returning to the United States following several years living abroad in Paris, France. It is an undefined and temporary time in which I feel suspended between two countries, cultures, and languages. These works are a meditation of this phase when the routine of daily life can often seem unfamilar in a very familiar enviroment. They allow me to take account of this interim period and help me to understand its significance."</span></div>

Navigating a painting in terms of qualitative relationships, I rely more heavily on a visceral response to visual phenomena than to an intellectual one as each painting unfolds through time. Through visual and tactile work with water-based media, formal qualities negotiated transform and reveal themselves as new visual metaphors."</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #505050; line-height: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Artist Nancy B. Westfall likens painting to therapy, seeing within each work, '…what it is that I am thankful for, worried about, or thinking of.' She sees each abstract painting as a self-portrait, expressing her thoughts and feelings through color, line and form. Westfall’s abstract paintings combine organic forms with playful color and texture to create timeless, contemporary images."</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #505050; line-height: 15px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The playfulness is appealing and, based on the titles of her pieces, it seems Nancy B. Westfall has a very good sense of humor! "Verbivore" and "Cadywampus", for example. And here are "Fluffaluf" and "We're All Floaties on the Lazy River". The Lazy River of life, perhaps? Sounds like a great way to live, "We're All Floaties on the Lazy RIver".</span></span></div>

How many times have I written about Laurence Young? You can read two of those posts <a href="http://jefferymccullough.blogspot.com/2011/08/laurence-young.html">here</a> and <a href="http://jefferymccullough.blogspot.com/2013/07/alden-gallery-provincetown-laurence.html">here</a>. My writings are never enough as this Provincetown, MA, artist is an incredibly talented artist whose paintings, no matter the subject, are deep and moving. Following art school at RISD, Laurence studied with Wolf Kahn, Lois Griffel, and Cynthia Packard. Laurence has become quite an accomplished artist with representation by galleries in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi, and Laurence has been in shows in New York and Rhode Island as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From Laurence Young's website:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Painting is a lot like life, changing at every corner. It is a process and a journey, dedicated to a life of observing. I am fascinated by passages of light, shapes and forms that are abstracted by color."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For now, Gregg Irby only represents the figurative works on paper by Laurence Young. Hopefully that will change soon as Laurence Young's works on canvas are certainly perfect for the Atlanta art market.</div>

I am constantly asked, usually with a quizzical look on the face, "what exactly do you do?". So I thought I would tell you. A huge, the largest actually, part of what I do to earn a living is serve as agent for artists which means that I represent these artists in gaining representation by galleries. This career path was created when, in 2008, I was introduced to a young artist whose work I thought was incredible and who, I knew, should be in galleries and should become a full-time professional artist. On a whim, I made a proposal to that young artist which included my presenting photos of her work to contacts I had in Atlanta. It worked. Boy did it work. Although I am no longer agent for that artist, I now have eight super talented artists in the "stable" of artists represented by Jeffery McCullough Art & Design Consulting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I absolutely love the role I play in the career of these artists. It is exciting and rewarding on a daily basis. And I count my blessings that that incredible young artist came into my life in 2008 and a career path was born because of the work she and I did together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since 2008, I have forged relationships with galleries and design showrooms throughout the South and currently have work by "my" artists placed in Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana. And more to come.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
SO....here is an introduction to the eight talents that I currently work with. As always, be sure to click on the photos to make them larger and, whether you are a gallerist or a collector, if you would like more information or photos of work by any of these artists, email me at jefferymccullough@hotmail.com</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
ENJOY!</div>

I can't believe I haven't completed a blog post on this incredible, incredible artist that I am so fortunate to have in the Jeffery McCullough Art & Design Consulting arsenal.

This Summer, Kelli studied in Provincetown, Massachusetts, with the renowned artist Cynthia Packard. An intense experience, the results of the three day workshop are already showing in the new work by Kelli Kaufman as evidenced in this exquisite new landscape:</div>

Kelli was selected by the venerable Atlanta gallerist Anne Irwin for the Summer Emerging Artist Show at ANNE IRWIN FINE ART, one of Atlanta's top galleries. The show was a success for Kelli with a piece selling before it could even be hung. Here is one of the pieces currently available from ANNE IRWIN FINE ART:<br />

Joy Gardner is one of the first three artists that I signed when I began the journey of serving as agent for artists. Since the first gallery representation I secured for Joy, she has achieved considerable success with her oil on canvas paintings in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Georgia.</div>

Joy Gardner's work is currently in two special shows. Opening tonight in Mobile is the "1x4:ANALOGY" show curated by Wanda Sullivan Allred which features artists work in four educational venues throughout Mobile. Four of Joy Gardner's paintings are featured in this show which will be up through September 20th.</div>

It is no secret to anyone who knows me that works on paper are my thing, especially watercolors. Linda Moncla is as fine a watercolorist as any I have seen and as Tim said recently when looking at her new work, "she has such a <i>fine</i> hand". It's true. And I am so glad that galleries have responded to her work the way I did when I first saw it. I owe collector Elizabeth Hesterly a big thank you for introducing me to Linda Moncla's work. Over the next year, look for exciting news and gallery placements and be sure to check out the work that VIEW and OASIS currently have including:</div>

Jacob Broussard first came to my attention when he applied for a spot in the 2012 Big Easel Art Show in Lafayette. When I saw his submissions for the jurying process, I was WOWED! I knew I was looking at the work of an exceptional artist whose journey and progression was going to be top notch. And it has been just that. Jacob Broussard will be a star of the art world. PERIOD. The depth of who he is as an artist paired with the talent he possesses is unstoppable. After featuring Jacob's work in shows at LOUNGE GALLERY and The Big Easel, both in Lafayette, I am now officially his agent. The journey has begun as VIEW GALLERY and PERCH have already picked up this young talent. Both VIEW and PERCH have great selection of Jacob Broussard's work including:</div>

As I said in the opening of this post, before signing an artist I "watch" the work of the artist for a while. I have watched Anne McLeod for about seven years now and am so happy to finally be her agent!</div>

I first fell in love with McLeod's watercolors and purchased several over a period of a few years. As Anne's exploration of herself as a professional artist has progressed, works on canvas began to catch my eye and now both VIEW GALLERY and OASIS represent Anne McLeod. Here are just three of the pieces in inventory at these galleries:</div>

This time of year usually finds me in a depressed state. Sad that I am not in Provincetown and unhappy that Summer is ending, I hibernate at home. This year is different. I had an incredible Provincetown Summer and came home rejuvenated, inspired, and ready.....ready to dive head first into exciting projects that I have going on, particularly with the super talented artists that I work with as their agent. And I came back ready to see the Atlanta art world and to become a part of that world. At the top of the to-do list upon return was to get to ANNE IRWIN FINE ART on Miami Circle in Atlanta to to see the fifth annual Emerging Artist Show which, this year, includes one of "my" artists--the insanely talented KELLI KAUFMAN who is having a heck of a wonderful year. Upon receipt of Kelli's submissions for this juried show, one of Kelli's pieces landed at the top of the invitation/promo flyer for this show:</div>

Anne Irwin and Emily West have mounted a major endeavor of a show featuring 120 pieces by artists from Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana (Kelli Kaufman), California and Canada. The show is beautiful as this photo from Anne Irwin Fine Art shows:</div>

Prices of pieces in the show scale from $ 200-$ 2,000 making it accessible to all art lovers and most pieces fall into the $ 200-1,000 range. For new collectors, an emerging artist show like this is a great way to discover artists whose work you love and can afford. By accepting up to four pieces by each artist, the show presents a small body of work by each artist rather than just one piece. For someone looking at new, to the viewer at least, artists, this type of show is not to be missed.</div>

My goal in visiting ANNE IRWIN FINE ART as soon as I could upon return to Atlanta, was to select five artists whose total submissions equalled the best. I will revisit the show to pick my favorite individual pieces by artists and that might include additional artists but, for now, here are the five artists that wowed me with their grouping of pieces featured in the show.</div>

As Kelli Kaufman's agent, I could not be more proud of what has been accomplished in the time that we have worked together. Kelli gets stronger and stronger as an artist in every piece that she completes and the pieces that Anne and Emily selected are proof of that. Kelli, hands down, wins for best landscapes and best colorist in the Anne Irwin show! Here is her grouping on the wall of the gallery:</div>

Best abstract pieces in the show...no competition: Helen Ferguson Crawford. WOW! This is exactly why shows like the one at Anne Irwin are important for artists <i>and</i> collectors. I came away from Anne Irwin Fine Art wanting to know more about and see more work by Helen Ferguson Crawford and spent some time on Helen's website and blog. A blog post on a studio visit with this artist will definitely be coming soon. Here is the grouping in the show:</div>

Through Helen's blog ,<a href="http://www.helenfergusoncrawford.blogspot.com/">www.helenfergusoncrawford.blogspot.com</a>, I was able to get images of the two strongest pieces and see details of these pieces which are from a series of work called "the lure of empty places, field" and about "the edges of things". These pieces are definitely luring!</div>

There is something very fresh about Ginny Lane's work and different than many landscapes by Southern artists. A little research let me know why. Ginny Lane spends time in Maine which provides great inspiration and sources of views like the one captured in this gem of a painting of Seal Cove in Maine.</div>

On Friday night we stopped by Four Eleven Studio in Provincetown for the opening reception for new work by Helen Grimm, a Cape Cod artist whose work I became aware of a couple of summers ago. Helen's work makes me happy. Plain and simple. And for me that is reason enough to look at a painting over and over.<br />
<br />
Each year, Liz Carney, artist and arts organization director, mounts shows that keep me paying attention to what she is doing at the lovely little gallery at 411 Commercial Street in the East End Gallery District. Whether it was the Carney family--they are ALL super talented with strong creative genes in the blood lines-- exhibition a couple of Summers ago or the annual Bear Week celebration show, there is always something good going on at Four Eleven Studio.</div>

Colorful and full of good energy, the work of Helen Grimm captures the emotion and movement that Provincetown is full of and, I think, Grimm is doing something different than many of the painters of this area of Cape Cod. Sure, there is a nod to the Cape Cod School of Art particularly in the palette used in her dune scapes, but her work is more than that. The pieces are not about the colors, which I think some artists use as a gimmick to give their work that "P-town art" vibe, but are about a feeling that one gets when walking through the dunes to get to the beach or on a dune tour or simply sitting at the edge of the dunes looking towards the sea. And I love the framing which seems representative of the simple wood slat dune fences at the beach holding it all together and protecting the dunes in a way that frames the view of the dunes as one looks at them.</div>

About this Truro, MA, artist from a Four Eleven Studio description:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Throughout her career Helen Grimm has been drawn to the color, texture and repetition of abstracted forms. Her most recent paintings explore the landscapes of the Outer Cape. Grounded by their influence in the natural world, her paintings are a joyful expression of color and shifting rhythm."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Although the current exhibition is all about Helen Grimm's great new work, I had to get into the Liz Carney corner. Liz Carney is a brilliant artist who, fortunately, is in our collection. Liz captures so much in her work. I know her, I like her, I feel her. And she, the person, comes through in her work. Liz deserves her own blog post and will get one soon. For now, here is some of her brilliance currently tucked away in the right corner of the gallery...</div>

After a lovely visit with Liz and experiencing both Liz and Helen's work, we walked down to Alden Gallery to see Joerg Dressler's amazing new work...more on that in an upcoming blogpost.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As we walked past Four Eleven Studio about an hour later and I saw the Helen Grimm dune scape hanging in the window and Liz Carney's flower piece on the wall I thought, "all is well and it all works." It does. And Four Eleven Studio is a not to be missed Provincetown gallery.</div>

...is that year after year I am fulfilled, I learn, I am comforted, I am challenged, I am loved...and I love. I am talking about Provincetown and those who know me know that I have spent time here in the Summer for nine years now. I fell in love with this magical place on a week long visit. And, as many before me have felt, one week wasn't enough the following summer and then, without me knowing why, neither was two or even three weeks. And so now Tim and I spend a month here. And even that seems like too little. And a day like yesterday is exactly the reason. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I picked up a friend from the ferry terminal and, since this is her first time in Provincetown, spent a few hours showing her "my P-town" which meant that we went in a few galleries, had my favorite lunch which is take-out from Angel Foods enjoyed during a picnic on the water behind the East End institution that is Angel Foods. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And then, along with two other Louisiana friends who are in town, crossed the street to PAAM, Provincetown Art Association & Museum, to see the latest incredible shows. Every Summer PAAM mounts a show that I get so into that I have to go back more than once. Last year it was a huge Motherwell show and this year it is "Pioneers from Provincetown: The Roots of Figurative Expressionism" curated by Adam Zucker and on view until September 2nd. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
About this show, PAAM says:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"In the 1950s a new wave of painters invigorated Cape Cod’s artistic community and challenged the Abstract authority, using the figure as the key structural element in their compositions.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whether drawn to Provincetown by the charismatic and influential artist-teacher Hans Hofmann, the promise of like-minded community, cheap rent, or the brilliant seaside light, the influence of these artists continues to be felt today."</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The show is wonderful. And celebrates artists that are very well known and those that, unfortunately, never quite made it on the art world stage which is a pity, of course, but thanks to PAAM the work is out there again for the world to see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will go back next week to revisit this show and possibly will find additional favorites once I spend some quiet time with the pieces but for now, here are the five that hit me yesterday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
WOLF KAHN. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am never disappointed with the experience of seeing a Wolf Kahn. And to see work done when this now 86 year old master colorist was only 29 is such a wonderful experience and treat. </div>

TONY VEVERS.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tony Vevers is a name I've heard since I began following the art world of Provincetown. And after seeing his work in this show, it's time I do my research to learn more and see more. This piece moved me. And an artist friend and I discussed the choice to add color only on the children. That's what seeing a show together does--dialogue and thought leading to the sharing of ideas and wonders.</div>

As if the Pioneers of Provincetown show wasn't enough, PAAM currently has a show up in the smallest room of the Museum. Titled, "Around Town: PAAM Collection Works", this show celebrates views of Provincetown by some of the most well know Provincetown artists in a curated grouping that is a wonderful art history lesson since the grouping goes all the way back to Charles Hawthorne (born 1872, founder of Cape Cod School of Art in 1899) and continues to Anne Packard, one of Provincetown's most well known living artists. This show is why PAAM is so smartly run. In a small room with only 16 pieces, one can understand what and why the Provincetown art world is.</div>

<br />
BRUCE McKAIN.<br />
Again, I am challenged to learn and must do research on this artists. I absolutely love the light in this painting and the reflection in the water.<br />

ARTHUR COHEN.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One of my favorite Provincetown artists, Arthur Cohen, has produced work that brought me to tears. Literally, a piece that I saw several years ago at Munson Gallery in Chatham immediately caused tears to well up. That's because Arthur Cohen had captured what it is that I love and feel about Provincetown. I have since acquired two very small works on paper pieces by the artist and recently saw several small pieces that are available from Anne Irwin Fine Art in Atlanta that I have a close watch on. If you are in Atlanta, ask Anne or Emily to show you the Arthur Cohen pieces.</div>

If you've been to Provincetown and were bitten by the love bug of the town, you know what I mean when I wax rhapsodic about this special spot at the tip of Cape Cod. And what Anne Packard talks about in an interview, that I will share when I do a blog post on her, when she said, "I couldn't wait to come back......come back."</div>

Provincetown is full of galleries. When I say full, I mean full--there are over fifty galleries in this village of a town. Over the years I have learned which I love and need to go in every Summer and which I can skip. As I've gotten to know which P-town artists whose work I love and I've gotten to know gallery owners, I now have my list of favorite galleries down to a number I can count on two hands. It varies by the season but somewhere between five and eight would be a safe bet for those I say are a must. I will feature a few of them over the next month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One absolute MUST is ALDEN GALLERY. I received this notification for the show that opened on July 12th featuring LAURENCE YOUNG whose work I know really well (I represent him in the South) and Paul Kelly, an artist whose work I didn't know at all. I was intrigued by the pairing of these two artists and was bummed that we would get into town too late to make it to the opening. So at the top of my list for Saturday was to get down to ALDEN to see this show. </div>

WOW! Howard Karren and Stephen Syta knew exactly what they were doing when they planned this show. Now in its sixth season, ALDEN is a gallery I have seen from the beginning. Alden has been at the top of my list for years now because the gallery represents several artists whose work I've bought for clients and for our collection. So I know the gallery well and I have to say that I think the walls of ALDEN have never looked better than they currently do! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I entered the gallery to see three of the best Laurence Young paintings I have ever seen. I was in love, particularly with "Pick Up Sticks" and "Are We There Yet", the two pieces with structures. IN LOVE!</div>

And then I turned and looked into the other room. Oh my gosh. The juxtaposition between Laurence Young's Oil and Wax on Canvas pieces with Paul Kelly's Oil on Canvas framed architectural pieces is just incredible...seriously good. Understatement. I learned that Paul Kelly is an architect hence the insane level of skill in capturing everything about a structure. Yet he plays around with it just a bit..holds a little back and makes a subject that has been painted ad nauseam fresh and interesting again, achieving in his work what Laurence Young did in "Are We There Yet" which makes the Truro cottages feel like they have never been painted before. Both Laurence and Paul's paintings make the viewer want to be there, right now. And that is what I felt while in the gallery. I wanted to be IN Laurence's paintings and IN Paul's paintings. </div>

and then this piece, <i>Blue Porch, </i>WHOA!

We never want things to get too perfect, too groomed, and peeling paint is wonderful! For those who "get" Provincetown, this painting means something really special.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When the Big Easel began, the event was about paintings. Over time, other categories were introduced to the event and have done very well. But at the end of the day, the word easel is in the name of the event and the majority of participants are painters. Every year, I am asked to pre-select some favorites that I know are going to be at The Big Easel. This year I have selected 15 pieces by 11 artists that I think are fantastic. I have also selected favorites in all categories over the last few months on The Big Easel Facebook page which you can see </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Big-Easel/329588973738076"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">here</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. And in yesterday's preview, I selected some personal favorites in other categories represented at The Big Easel including works on paper paintings.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">SOOOO, for now.....enjoy these pieces as a preview of Saturday's event...and if you are in Louisiana on Saturday, be in Lafayette at THE BIG EASEL! And, as always, if you need more info on any piece I feature, just let me know.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 13px;">In 2005, artist Hope Hebert and Karen Daigle of River Ranch organized an art display component of Rhythms on the River, a concert series at River Ranch in Lafayette, LA. That year, only twelve artists presented their work but the outpouring of support from the community made it clear that a separate art event would be successful. A year later THE BIG EASEL was born. Each year the event grew.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 13px;">In 2009, Hope Hebert asked me to become the Chair of THE BIG EASEL. I had no idea when I got involved that, because of The Big Easel, my career as an art agent and rep would grow. THE BIG EASEL became my "baby" and over the last few years, with the help of a great committee, the event has become a destination for art collectors. A juried one day only art show featuring 60 plus artists in one place, the event gives great artists and galleries a place to show their work and gain exposure to nearly a thousand people in a mere seven hours. The success of THE BIG EASEL is pretty incredible, especially in a town the size of Lafayette. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 13px;">Come rain or come shine, the 2013 Big Easel will take place this Saturday, June 8th, from 9 am - 4 pm at Town Square at River Ranch in Lafayette. If you are anywhere in the state of Louisiana, THE BIG EASEL will be worth the drive for you to see work by artists from Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Massachusetts. From paintings to photography to ceramics to jewelry to metal to wood, all mediums and categories are covered by the some pretty incredible artists.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 13px;">In this preview, I have selected pieces in the Works on Paper, Photography, Jewelry, Pottery/Porcelain, Wood, and Sculpture categories. Remember, this is only work by twelve artists which is only 20% of the number artists participating in THE BIG EASEL.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 13px;">Tomorrow I will present 15 paintings on canvas and panel.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 13px;">For now, enjoy these selections!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">I love that line. I found it in <i>Country Living </i>magazine a couple of summers ago, before all of the Gatsby mania currently happening, and tore it out to remind me year round of what I love about summertime and what Summer means to me. I still think of Summer the way a school kid does. For me, Summer feels more like a transition phase than the New Year. Summer is when I take time to think--plan, dream, set goals, reflect, catch up on things that I've let lapse in the last few months. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Summer is when I go to Provincetown, my favorite place on earth. Time in Provincetown is more of a retreat for me than a vacation. And it is in Summer that I allow a retreat mode of thinking to be the norm wherever I am. We are in Atlanta this weekend and the weather is exquisite with a little crispness that I love. And last night as we waited in a long line at the gelato shop around the corner from our house with a dear friend from New Orleans who is here for the weekend, Tim said, "it feels like a P-town night". He was referring to the weather and he was right. But it also felt like a P-town night psychologically and spiritually as well. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>

And celebrate what F. Scott Fitzgerald felt when he said, "life was beginning over again with the summer." So here are some wonderful pieces of art that I've seen recently that gave me that wonderful Summer feel. And so I say, Happy New Year and give you twelve fantastic pieces to "take you there"..wherever that special there is for you. </span></span><br />

If you are in or anywhere near Atlanta this week, you must visit the Cathedral Antiques Show Inspiration House. Each year, a great roster of designers is selected to transform spaces in conjunction with the Cathedral Antiques Show. Although the Antiques Show ended on the 3rd, the Inspiration House continues through this Sunday, the 10th.</div>

I was a bit under the weather when I toured the house (and in a pretty foul mood because I felt so bad), so thankfully there were three spaces and two artists that made my trip completely worth it by being very inspiring.</div>

PARKER KENNEDY!! The name deserves all caps and two exclamation points. I mean, really, how fun is this living room?? I could spend hours, okay days, very happy in this space. Not since Dorothy Draper has hot pink seen this much use. Tempered slightly by a great blue used throughout the room, I think the Parker Kennedy design duo David Ecton and Lance Jackson did an outstanding job. On the Parker Kennedy website, it says "<span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="color: #b91806; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;"><b><i>“Preppy on the Edge”</i></b></span><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;">… </span><span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; min-height: 16px;">A contempory approach to the timeless classic. It is the defining difference between traditional to transitional design, and that is what Parker Kennedy strives to accomplish.", is the defining hallmark of Parker Kennedy's design work. WELL, I give you.....</span></div>

It turns out that PARKER KENNEDY LIVING is a retail showroom and warehouse in Atlanta and they show at Scott's as well. I will be checking out their wares as soon as I am better and able to get out and shop for clients!</div>

From the bolt of color in the living room, I headed downstairs where I found this very serene retreat by one of my favorite architects, Bill Ingram, who lives in Birmingham. Through all of the press attention he has received, I have followed Ingram's work for years and it was thrilling to be in a space that he designed. This is where a great book and a cup of tea would join me every day. Ingram's work is so thoughtfully executed. This is a very small space with stone walls and great windows which make furniture placement a challenge. Leave it to a brilliant architect to work it all out in great style. There will be more in the future on Bill Ingram's work and this room so I will share the details then.</div>

Back upstairs, I got a huge smile on my face when I saw the chic as all get out Bob Collins bamboo wallpaper and Kent Bragaline fabric on the skirted table in the foyer. And to top it off, a Chinoiserie lantern from John Rosselli. Palm Beach, anyone??</div>

I visit as many show houses as I can in hopes of seeing new products and artists to specify for Jeffery McCullough Art Design & Consulting projects. At this show house, there were two artists whose work I fell in love with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One, Erin McIntosh, who is represented by Gregg Irby Fine Art in Atlanta, isn't brand new to me. In fact, I recently bought one of her incredible abstract works on paper pieces from Gregg Irby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I had not seen a grouping of Erin McIntosh's work and was very pleased to see three in the dining room designed by Wesley Huffard. I am just in love with these abstract watercolor on paper pieces. AND, best of all, the 11" x 14" unframed pieces are only $ 90 each. Buy this artists work now!</div>

My Savannah area friends are going to be in big trouble if they know about this next artist and haven't told me! Katherine Sandoz?? I walked into the back hall designed by Brooke Merrill Home and about tripped over furniture to get up close and personal with these little jewels!<br />

Of course, the second I got back to my computer in the office I was googling up a storm. Turns out, Katherine Sandoz lives in Savannah, has two (not one, mind you) masters from SCAD, and has shown at galleries in Savannah, Atlanta, Austin, and New Hampshire. Again, like Parker Kennedy Living, as soon as I'm back up to snuff, I will be driving down to Savannah to see more of her work!</div>

Show<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Each year right about now I go into a funk, the only word that seems right for what I feel after I leave Provincetown. When I first visited P-town eight summers ago, I knew I had gone somewhere special but I had no idea that over time I would grow to love a place the way I do the little village at the tip of Cape Cod and feel that it is my spiritual home. I hope everyone has a place like this. A place that stays with them constantly and makes them yearn for more, makes them feel the need to be connected all the time even if it will be another eleven months possibly before returning to the physical place, a place that brings peace and happiness, love and understanding, a place that clears the head and allows for thoughts that will lead to growth and development. </div>

Knowing that I would feel the way I do right now is exactly why I curated the Summer show at Lounge Gallery in Lafayette, LA. "To the Water...." is a beautiful show featuring paintings and photography by fourteen artists. I selected the artists included because of their great ability to capture a sense of time and place in their work and, moreover, because I need to connect with pieces on that level allowing art to transport me to the place I want to be. My vision for the show was that when folks walked into the gallery they would feel that they had been removed from the hot, humid Louisiana summer and taken "To the Water......", wherever the water might be. Whether it is a sailboat in the bay, a boat tied up at a lake marina, a fishing boat in the Atchafalaya basin, a view of the marsh, a branch in the woods, or a vast ocean scene, the artists in this show have created paradise in pieces that are beautiful, meditative, and transporting.</div>

The closing reception for the show is this Saturday night during 2nd Saturday Art Walk in Lafayette. Here are some of my favorite pieces from the show that are taking me "To the Water......." today.</div>

If you are in Louisiana on Saturday, be at Lounge Gallery for the reception from 5:30-8 pm. If you would like to purchase a piece or need more information on any piece or artist, please let me know. For now, enjoy my selections:</div>

Design Sponge's top post for that day was the Ohio home of Amy and Paul Hamilton. Even though the lovely home is in Ohio, the Hamilton's have "channeled a sort-of New England seaside town for the decoration of their in 1859 home."<br />
<br />
As I perused the images and read the article, I realized that their home represents the other side, as opposed to all-white and blue cottage, of beach style that I love. In this version of my dream beach, things take-on an old barn-like vibe but with pops of white to keep it fresh and airy.<br />
<br />
Even though this is Paul Hamilton's studio and not actual living space, I can imagine a space like this as the main room of the cottage. I love the old wood ceiling with exposed beams and the posts which serve as a subtle divider of space. I could see the living area in the center of the room, kitchen at one end, and work space at the opposite end.<br />

I would love the furniture to feel a bit like Keith McNally's Martha's Vineyard getaway that was featured in <i>Elle Decor</i> ... a little bit of old wicker mixed with slipcovered sofa, an antique chandelier with paper shades above, an old and worn rug..perfect slightly bohemian and thrown together p-town vibe. Walls would need to be light so I would paint all walls in the main room my favorite Benjamin Moore barely-off white color, "Soft Chamois".<br />

Contrary to what some think, we do have to continue working on projects while in Provincetown so a work space is required. I love the idea of an old farm table as desk with art filled shelves above.</div>

For the bedroom, continuing the natural wood walls ala this room by Sarah Richardson that was featured on House of Turquoise blog would be great. I love the casual charm of this room. The styling is actually perfect for Provincetown weather. Some nights, an extra quilt is needed. Some nights, a fan is required. </div>

I am in love with this bathroom by Tracery Interiors for the 2012 Southern Living Magazine Idea House in Senoia, Georgia. Studio Printworks wallpaper,"Animal Farm-Blue Ribbon", and Thomas O'Brien Sconces from Circa Lighting is enough to really get me going. Throw in the rustic vintage mirror leaning in front of a window and you've really gone a little P-town in Georgia. Love this.</div>

Provincetown. Love. Happiness. Peace. Beach. which is where I am headed now! Happy Summer weekend.Jeffery McCulloughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15479943347587045848noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-85430060688617357.post-66253876049262194412012-07-22T14:50:00.002-07:002012-07-22T14:50:12.031-07:00My Kind of Beach Style.....Part 1<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Everyone knows that I dream of owning a cottage in Provincetown, the place that is my little slice of Heaven. Everything about Provincetown fits me like a glove. Not only is it a charming village by the sea at the tip of Cape Cod, it has a booming art scene, great restaurants, theater of every variety, many friends vacation here, and it has been voted one of the most pet-friendly towns in America. Scruffy really appreciates this aspect of P-town!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't understand formal and prissy beach style which is often seen in more posh beach locales. The kind of beach cottage I imagine is a light and airy flip-flop strewn, sand between the toes, suntan oil friendly, lounge on any piece of furniture with no fear of messing it up kind of place. Last year I wrote about a house that was actually for sale that I could imagine what the days spent in and around it would be like. That place has since sold and there isn't anything on the market this year that completely fits the bill, even in a pretend money were no object way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I have accumulated a file of images that serve as inspiration for when the day comes that JPM & TSA (& Scruffy!) have a place of our own to call home in our beloved Provincetown. And I've selected art from some of my favorite artists from back home (Georgia & Louisiana) and from the many galleries of Provincetown, Wellfleet, and Chatham. This is part one where I've imagined a three room cottage---a large room that is equal parts living/dining/workspace/kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom. Enjoy! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love the all-white walls and beamed ceiling in this laid-back beach cottage. Painted brick is one of my favorite things and hydrangea from the garden are a must in Provincetown. </div>

And rather than have a mirror over the mantel, I think I would prefer an Arthur Cohen painting from Munson Gallery in Chatham OR Cortile Gallery in Provincetown...remember this is fantasy so price is no object!</div>

I absolutely love this beach cottage that was featured in <i>Country Living</i> magazine a couple of months ago. It is the Hamptons cottage of the owners of English Country Antiques. The vibe is so what I could get behind in our own getaway place.<br />

I am a complete purist when it comes to bathrooms. White cabinetry, chrome or nickel finishes, and white countertops are all I will consider. This bathroom of a Tybee Island, Georgia, beach house by Savannah firm Rethink Design Studio is perfect! </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I received so many emails about my last post (Abstract Art in Traditional Interiors, part 1) that it made the task of selecting images for this post really fun as I realized the subject hit home to so many readers. Here are examples of abstract art used in traditional interiors in projects done by the masters of design whose work I always turn to for inspiration when working on client projects. Billy Baldwin, Albert Hadley, Bunny Williams, Jeffrey Bilhuber, Todd Romano, and Suzanne Kasler are designers whose projects have filled my favorite rooms binders for years. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I was in college and began recognizing styles of design that I liked, Albert Hadley and Bunny Williams were at the top of my list (as well as Charlotte Moss and Mark Hampton). Through my first job in New York at Hinson & Company I was exposed to the designs of Billy Baldwin who is, for the record, my all-time favorite designer. By the early-mid 2000's Jeffrey Bilhuber and Todd Romano came on my radar, and in the last few years Suzanne Kasler has consistently done projects that have caught my eye.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's start by going way back to Billy Baldwin's interiors from the 70's. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">circa 1970: In the living room of Mr. and Mrs. Harding Lawrence's Dallas home, the first of four projects Billy Baldwin masterfully executed for the Lawrence's, a Theodoros Stamos painting reigns over a "raspberry colored glazed" room filled with chintz, antique chairs, celadon vases and lacquered pieces. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Billy Baldwin: An Autobiography, </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mr. Baldwin says, "The house in Dallas, which I did in 1970, turned out to be a wild success and I confess I did it in a taste that is not really mine at all: brilliant colors, American paintings, and good furniture both old and new. It also had colossal comfort."</span></div>

The Don Placido Arango's of Madrid were the lucky inhabitants of this unbelievably chic apartment overlooking the Prado and the Ritz in one of my favorite cities. The Spanish do have great style and the addition of Baldwin to the team of client-designer achieved greatness in my opinion.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">America lost one of its all-time top talents in March when Albert Hadley passed away. Dubbed the "dean of American decorating" by magazine editors, Mr. Hadley created brilliance over and over and over in his projects. With a simple flair, which I think is hard to come by because projects with great flair can often be over the top, Mr. Hadley created real, as opposed to fantasy, rooms that always seemed so livable and never with too much unnecessary stuff and clutter. In an interview with </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Architectural Digest</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> in 2011, Mr. Hadley said, "</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whatever you put in your house should be interesting. I may not like it, but that doesn’t make any difference. And decorating is not about dollars and cents; it’s an emotional thing, it’s passion. Buying a painting or a piece of furniture just because a famous name made it isn’t passion." To read the full interview which is very interesting, click </span><a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/architecture/2011-02/albert_hadley_article"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">here</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> after you've finished reading my post!</span></span></div>

Chintz curtains, lacquered walls, comfortable upholstered pieces, antique chair, simple coffee table, really great lantern that all co-exist happily and with great effect. But the painting is the shot in the arm, the kick in the pants, the energy necessary for the room to sing. The room, it turns out, is actually an executive office for the Bank of New York circa 1970 I am guessing. Who wouldn't mind going to work in this space??</span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The project that repeatedly brought Mr. Hadley so much attention is the apartment of Mrs. Vincent Astor. The famous red lacquered, brass trimmed library is one of the most often seen photographs of excellent design. A photo I have not seen as much is the below image of Mrs. Astor's bedroom. A room that really could have tipped the sweet scale is tempered by two paintings. Still feminine and soft like the rest of the room, the abstract pieces break down the girly-ness of it all.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Virginia native Bunny Williams is at the top of the design world in every way. Her successful firm with major clients has led the way to a beautiful shop, Treillage, in New York as well as a wonderful line of furniture, lighting, accessories in her Beeline Home collection. When perusing the many years covered in Ms. Williams' online portfolio, the use of abstract art in traditional interiors is a staple of the classically good interiors that Bunny Williams Inc. brings to life. One of my favorites is this "House in Provence" living room where damask, needlepoint, tufted furniture, and Tang-dynasty figures are in perfect harmony with a very large painting in a simple floater frame.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the Beeline Home showroom at the 2011 Spring High Point market, Bunny Williams selected a painting by Mallory Page from Mrs. Howard/Max & Company in Atlanta. "An Unusual Repertoire" was center stage above the classic Knole-style sofa against faux-ivy covered walls. Mallory Page's fantastic painting now hangs in a Bunny Williams client's home in Delaware.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In my opinion, Jeffrey Bilhuber is one of the top five American designers working today. Bilhuber's projects are always good, never a slip, and represent 21st century traditional. I featured a bedroom a couple of posts back that is from the same London town house as this living room. This project is from an old issue of </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Elle Decor</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> that is as fresh in my mind now as the day I saw it seven years ago. It represents another of those "AHA!" moments for me where I realized I had seen genius design as I flipped the pages and saw example after example of balance, proportion, scale, and harmony.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This project remains one of my all-time favorite published projects and, since the day the magazine hit the newsstand, has remained in its entirety in my special binder used only for Mr. Bilhuber's projects. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Ross Bleckner painting above the sofa is a wonderful counterpoint to the details of the room. Again, like Mr. Hadley's work in Mrs. Astor's bedroom, the abstract piece was needed to keep the room from becoming too feminine and too formal.</span><br />

A show of Mr. Katz's work at The Jewish Museum in New York in 2006 is one of the turning-point moments in my life. I have never forgotten the show and still recall the hours I spent in the museum in awe of what was before me. This experience showed me that my true passion is art. Mr. Katz's figurative work is what I was blown away by and one of the reasons I can beat artists up a bit when they paint figurative pieces that just don't add up, so to speak, to the genius of Mr. Katz's portraits. I am not as familiar with Katz's abstract landscapes but really love the piece below which serves as another window with a view in this dining room.</span><br />

One of the first projects I remember seeing where I was aware of great use of contemporary art in antique-filled rooms is the Helsinki, Poland, home of Earle & Carol Mack done by Todd Alexander Romano, Texas native, and featured in the December, 2005, issue of <i>Elle Decor.</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
This is the American Ambassador to Poland's home and the collection of modern masters is out of this world. In the image below of the living room, we have Alex Katz again. About this shot, <i>Elle Decor</i> says,<br />

But it is Todd Romano's former country house that I have really, really been in love with for a long time. You have lacquered walls, chintz (including one of my all-time favorite patterns "Le Lac" from Brunschwig & Fils on the French arm chair), animal print rugs, gourd lamps, swing arm lamps, Staffordshire figurines, Chinoiserie, English and French antiques, essentially every traditional design element. But to break it all up, Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol over one sofa and a Josef Albers piece over the short-end of the velvet covered banquette and other abstract pieces above and on the mantel are present in signature T.A.R. style. Every time I flip through my binders and come across this project of Todd's, I am immediately reminded why I think he is such a great designer.</div>

There is actually very little about this room that I like. It's just a bit too much for me but the Scott Ingram piece above the sofa makes it all work so this is an example of when good art decisions really pull a room together. It is the white of the frame and paper with the subtleness of Ingram's deft strokes of color that makes this piece perfect for over the sofa. Everything is so horizontal in this space and the vertical strokes bring it all in. Ingram is represented by Emily Amy Gallery in Atlanta.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I designed the living room of the 2007 ASO Show House in Lafayette, Louisiana, I was still living in New York full-time and only occasionally in Louisiana. When the show house opened and ladies would come through the room, no one knew who I was or what I looked like. I was often engaged in conversation with someone so those just entering the space assumed I was another person touring the house. I would hear ooh's and aaah's over the beautiful antiques (on loan from Au Vieux Paris Antiques, one of Louisiana's finest antique dealers) and "isn't that a nice sofa?" ( a classic Bridgewater Arm Hickory Chair sofa on loan from Albarado's it was, in fact, a very nice sofa), but then I would hear, "I can't stand all of this abstract art", and "well, this is all very nice but the art is awful." It was <i>unbearable</i> for me! When I, a New York interior designer, accepted the task of designing the living room, the focal point of the house, I decided that I would furnish the room locally so as to make folks feel the room was attainable, within reach, and possible for them to have similar style and beauty in their own Louisiana homes. In addition to Au Vieux Paris Antiques and Albarado's, I was fortunate to have Grand Contemporary Gallery (now closed) as a resource for art. At the time, Yvette Owens, George Marks, and Helaine Moyse were some of my favorite Louisiana artists and Jennifer Grand represented all three. I was thrilled and very excited to be able to pull together a space using the elements of design that I had always used, what I had learned in my employment with Eric Cohler, Edwin Jackson, and Hinson & Company, what I knew to be true: juxtaposition is what gives energy to a room, excitement to a space, and is always necessary for any room to "sing".</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course, this is no new theory or design concept and has been in place in the best interiors for decades, centuries even, but I guess I was a bit ahead of my time in Lafayette. I remember having <i>decorators</i> ask me, "what style would you call this?". Choking back laughter, I would say traditional and see utter confusion all over their face. In the end, designing the room in the above two photos paid off for me. </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">House and Home </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">featured the room on the cover and again a year later and, moreover, I was hired by a most wonderful client to do one of the largest projects I've ever done.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am forever grateful to Eric Cohler and Jane Supino (son, mother) for teaching me so much of what I know about art. Both big collectors, Cohler and Supino educated me about artists, how to collect, and the greatest gift of all: how to mix seemingly disparate types of art in a cohesive, wonderful way. After I left Eric Cohler Design and was working at Hinson & Company, I was hired by Eric and Ms. Supino to serve as project manager and fabric / wall covering shopper/coordinator for the large-scale project of renovating and furnishing Ms. Supino's new Park Avenue apartment. This project was thrilling for me. I loved the client, loved the space, loved everything Ms. Supino already owned that would move into this apartment, and had a ball selecting all of the fabrics, wall coverings, new furniture. I had no idea that along the way, the client would teach me so much and that this project was a <i>major</i> stepping stone in my career and where I am today.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Traditional Home</i> (note the word Traditional even though you see major abstract paintings in the photo by Colleen Duffley) published the apartment. The living room sums up the entire apartment and I consider this project a great success and one I always remember as a turning point in who I am as a designer and art consultant.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why all of this reflection on past projects? The room seen below stopped me in my tracks. I think it is one of the most beautiful living rooms I've ever seen. Suzanne Rheinstein, New Orleans native, is the Los Angeles based designer who created this elegant and serene space featured in the May issue of <i>House Beautiful</i>. Rheinstein's rooms are always beautiful and I consider her one of America's top designers. I have seen many of Rheinstein's projects published but never with a bold, graphic, intense abstract painting like the incredible Carolyn Carr piece above the sofa in this room of a New York apartment. One word: FABULOUS!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And then, oh and then, the August issue of </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Architectural Digest</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> arrived in the mail on Saturday. As I thumbed through it just to see what awaited me when I have time to sit down and read the magazine in its entirety, the latest brilliance of Thomas Jayne (New York designer with a pied-a-terre in New Orleans) was revealed. And boy is it brilliant. Philadelphia clients with an amazing (Warhol, Jasper Johns, Ruscha, Lichtenstein, Twombly, Kline--just to name a few) collection of art received the perfection of Thomas Jayne's masterful work in this dining room:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First of all, the antiques are about as fine as fine can be. A "late-Georgian dining table" and "suite of Empire chairs" and a Regency console table are included. By the way, note that the green fabric used on dining chairs in the Thomas Jayne project is the same Cowtan & Tout fabric that we used in neutral on Ms. Supino's sofa. The Gracie wallpaper? STUNNING! But it gets better...the clients have a "Cy Twombly 'Blackboard' painting and a small geometric Franz Kline that play off the hand-painted Gracie scenic wallpaper" and "a classic Kline abstraction makes a strong statement paired with a Regency table and a Han-dynasty ceramic bull."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To say that I </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">can't stop</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> looking at the entire feature in </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Architectural Digest</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> would be a joke. It is on my desk and I keep going back to it for inspiration. None of my clients have art of this caliber but that doesn't mean I can't achieve the same great success as I build collections for them. Thank you Suzanne and Thomas for showing the world that a fine, classic, traditional room should have a shot in the arm of abstraction to make it all work. </span><br />
