Buckhorn Fine Art Festival - Chair Affair - 2015
Salvaged from a backyard shed …. a waiting room chair, some forty years old…
I traded in my florist’s knife for a palette knife and ventured into the world of oil on canvas, some forty years later.
This chair and I have a lot in common.
Our conversation will be awkward at times, yet clear-cut. There will be lines to follow and shapes to elude, in the midst of a palette of colour and form that will embrace us both.
