Funky African Chair

This is an old chair given new life by the miracle of paint. Inspired by Western African pop music!

Thanks Elizabeth! It's funny ---- but it sold at a charity auction and turns out the winning bid was from someone I knew. She got the chair as a gift for her husband -- and it's the SPECIAL chair at the table. When someone has a birthday, they get to sit in the special chair. Makes me smile. Glad you like it. Just grab an old chair and do one yourself - it's fun.

Artist Reply: Accidentally I posted this digitized photo of the actual chair. The CHAIR and not the photo is the item I meant to show. Opps. But thanks for your comments.

The colors and patterns are wonderful! Excellent work, very vibrant.

Artist Reply: I had a mix CD of some funky spunky African pop music to inspire me. Music is always a huge influence on whatever I'm doing at the time. How can people work in silent studios?

Tomas Castano 07 May 2007

Artist Reply: You are too kind --- as YOU are the ultra-talented one Tomas! You do the kind of work that makes me wish I had money (to buy your work).

Artist Reply: Normally comments like "cute" are like a bullet to my brain but I'll accept it here because the chair is rather whimsical, bright and light hearted.
