January 2010 Update

Greetings from the Cordair gallery in Napa, California, where the bare and dormant grapevines have been well watered over this past week and there have already been early sightings of the bright yellow mustard growing in the valley's vineyards. Speaking of mustard, our Napa Valley Mustard Festival starts this weekend! Come and celebrate Napa Valley's food, wine, art, agricultural and cultural bounties during the Mustard Season, January through March (see below for details). Mustard Festival in Napa is Living at its best.

On a somber note, we are honored to be working with community members of Salisbury, Maryland, in the creation of a memorial for Sarah Haley Foxwell. The memorial will feature a casting of Karl Jensen's Joy. Please see below for more about Sarah and for information on donating towards the sculpture.

Our cornucopia of uplifting and inspirational fine art continues to overflow. We are very pleased to introduce two limited-edition print releases in response to popular demand: Bryan Larsen's Study for the Triumph of Icarus and Gabriel Picart's Black Over Red. Also see, featured below, new original work by Bryan Larsen and Ron Sanders, and new releases by Jay Hall Carpenter and Perrin Sparks. There is more new art than we have space to show in this update, but you can always keep up with new work coming into the gallery by subscribing to the RSS feed on our New Art page. And you can now follow us on Twitter (Cordair Gallery) and Facebook (Quent Cordair Fine Art).

Sarah Haley Foxwell Memorial

Sarah Haley Foxwell was 11-years old when she was abducted from her bedroom last month, on December 22nd. Her remains were found at 4 p.m. on Christmas Day. Additional information is available here. A memorial to Sarah will be constructed in Winterplace Park in Salisbury, featuring the sculpture Joy by Karl Jensen. Donations towards the sculpture can be made by contacting Quent Cordair Fine Art at 707-255-2242 or art@cordair.com. Our very deepest sympathies go to the family and to all those affected. And may justice be served.
