It was a day of multiple art openings in Millwood, and we only saw three of the four sets of work. At Burwell Morgan Mill, Jim Costello‘s work anchored a retrospective. The work is contemporary and very open with vibrant colors.

At Duvall Gallery across the street, artists Julie Miles and RH Ballard are sharing a joint show. Excellent work by both.

My favorite work of the day is Julie Miles’ work in silver (apparently finished just hours before the show opened—nothing like a deadline!).

The work by RH Ballard is hard to capture in bits. Up close and personal, it is gorgeous.
