An impressive crowd of people greeted me at the reception for
The Tools of the Craft. I was hesitant to enter as there were so many people hanging out outside.
'wichcraft and
La Colombe hosted this "art, food, fundraising event" which featured the paintings of
Steve Ellis. 25% of all the art sales will be donated to
The Pat Hearn and Colin de Land Cancer Foundation. The comfortable setting of the former La Colombe New York headquarters cozily housed a gathering of works by
Steve Ellis and a memorial tribute to a fellow artist who recently passed away.

Right: An original oil painting by Steve Ellis. It is tightly rendered in a photo-realist style. The exactitude goes a long way in embodying the meanings of commercialism and that which is forgotten or over-looked, or is threatening in implication.
