Enameled Chair

114" x 11"  watercolor   $65.00  

I am nearly a century old.  Generals, and priests have sat here.  Grandmas, and grandpas, moms and dads, kids and babies have sat here to tie shoes, to eat meals, to read, to dream, to cry.  I am not ordinary.  Books and important papers have been stacked on my seat as well as dirty garden shears and pots.  My skin is thick with coats of enamel, but I have many memories.  Beside the linen and lace curtains in this warm colored peeling room I happily save a space for the unseen guest to rest.

During our class we also played,  blowing paint with straws to add a little abstract movement.

Watermelon Chunks

All I can think of when I see chunks of ruby red melon is the slurp factor, and chin drips.  Summer means relaxing and leaving cares behind, delighting in the sounds, shapes, fragrance and color provided by old sol.
