bonnie and an elegant chair wip . . .

This is a work in progress - one of those paintings that for some reason you don't finish quickly.  I'm posting it now because that's a right snappy little chair - if I do say so myself!  This painting is about patterns - I like the pattern that I was working on - on the side as well.  I thought of Bonnie as a model - she looks snazzy in that dress!

Lisa and an elegant chair . . .

Right now I am on a chair-ca-tion.  A summer of painting chairs.  Julie made me laugh out loud when she said that she had to look for the chair in the last painting.  Can you tell that I found the chair more difficult to draw than the figure in this painting?  For me chairs are difficult - almost as difficult as cupcakes.  I imagine that this is how Lisa looks when she dresses up for one of those fancy doings of hers . . .
