Old Green Chair
Hi, We had our grand opening last night at our new studio in the Pendleton Art Center in Middletown last night. We had a big crowd, so much fun. We put out a huge table of food, I think we fed them too well. I think they were busy eating and not looking at the art, lol. Just kidding, it was very successful. We sold a total of 9 paintings last night and today, I sold one. One of the gals may also have a couple of commissions. I was hoping we might have a few sales so everyone would feel good about our decision to take this on. We will be open on First Friday each month as well as for special events.
This painting is 11 x 14, I painted this sweet old green chair that I have owned for years with a pot of tulips in the seat. It was fun to do. I didn't get a close up photo but it is pretty painterly with a lot of variation of color in the background A simple composition and I think I like the black frame on it.
Please check out some of my artwork on Ebay

A lovely image, Barbara. I painted a chair with a pumpkin for my son's kitchen a few years ago!
Thank you Marie. You know we could just keep painting our chairs with different things in the seat, hmm. Have a series.

Thank you so much Suzanne, very sweet of you. Please visit again.
Lovely soft colors in the chair painting! And congratulations on you sale--it's not easy to sell in these economic times. I also love the farm house painting in the slideshow.
Hi Connie, Thanks so much. You are right, it is a tough time for artists isn't it? Art is a luxury and it is so amazing when someone purchases a painting.
