No Longer Needed, 16 x 20" o/c
On Monday I went back to the nursery to get another quick shot of something I had planned to paint, then guiltily lingered a bit and at the last minute noticed this chair. The owners really have an eye for placing old things in beautiful settings, and I couldn't pass up such a great subject. Which goes to show that allowing ourselves our "artist's dates" and time to wander really is necessary and productive.
While I did flop my photo and manipulate a number of things, I probably did not simplify it as much as I should have. Ironically, the more pressure I am under to produce work quickly, the tighter and slower I become. I don't know how to classify this. Is it a landscape or a still life?
2 So leave me a comment, or just say "hello" already:
Connie, this is beautifully singled out by you on your artist date, and beautifully painted. The poignant title reminds me of my Dad, (who had an electric wheelchair, and used to love whizzing through the halls at his retirement village and making me race after him, lol!).
Thank you, Mona; nice to hear from you. The title--I know.
