This pair of very large Adirondack chairs was a bit intimidating at first, but in the end, turned out wonderful. Once they were base painted for me, the decoration moved quickly. The varieties of flowers include Sunflowers, Daisies, Cosmos and Zinnias. The recipient of this project is a bee keeper, thus the numerous bees on the chair with the yellow flowers. Yes they are both the same shade of sky blue in reality.

Retirement Tribute Chair
I painted this vintage University-style chair in the school colors of Roger Williams University. The commissioned piece was a tribute to a well loved supervisor who was retiring. I included all sorts of insider jokes and messages, even under the seat. The center Time Out sign was painted in two versions. Which do you like better?
Pansy Chair with Butterfly
Pansies are so wonderfully varied and intense! I had to restrain my self from choosing too many when painting this sturdy vintage chair.

My signature insects are on the backrest; a bee on the front and a distinctive butterfly on the reverse. This chair is available for sale for $325 plus shipping and handling.
