A few years ago a woman from Dana Farber Cancer Center
came to my studio looking for paintings to hang in the chemo rooms.
She chose mostly beach scenes with people relaxing.
I had some wonderful paintings of chairs on decks and porches and in groups on the beach.
When I asked her why she didn’t take them,
she said they avoid any art that includes empty chairs, empty clothing,
and/or flowers in medical facilities!
That said, chairs will always be a favorite subject of mine.
Blue Chair
10 x 8 oil
This one looked a little too predictable so I think I’ll crop it
to this; making the chair less apparent.
Maybe that will engage the viewer longer?

Looking forward to getting back into the studio full time.
Wrapping up summer at the beach….so it won’t be long.
Time to hunker down!
