When I picked up my chair in February the only back support was the seven thin rails you see on the ground, spaced far apart. Not much of a canvas to work on. So I took the chair apart and rebuilt it. Now, I've done a lot of projects around the house over the years, painting, sewing and woodworking. My husband likes to say that in our family I'm the one with the tool belt! I purchased a few larger planks and reconstructed the back with some real space to work with. Next came drawing the design and using a scroll saw to carve our some of the shapes. Here is the finished product. When I think of gardens from art history, I think of the Impressionists. So I painted with acrylic in an Impressionist style. The butterfly is a copper attachment done in repousse', meaning the drawing is inscribed into the metal with a wooden stylist for a relief effect. I deliver the chair tomorrow morning and sometime in May all the chairs will be displayed around Chestnut Hill, PA and the Morris Arboretum in Philadelphia. There will be a judging for prizes and the chairs will be titled and for sale.

This is a gorgeous 12”x18” Art Nouveau Style Fine Art Print by Alphonse Mucha. The original artwork was a poster of a Beautiful Woman by the famed 1910’s art nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha, which was digitally edited and restored for modern use. This print is a 12x18 inch poster print on matte extra heavy cardstock. It ships flat (not rolled up). It has a white border around the edges and comes unframed. I hope you love this image as much as I do, and it will find a special place in your home. Let me know if you have any questions! :)

Here's my (very late-again) entry for Soartful Saturday's challenge. Who can resist the idea of wine, bread--I'd add some dates and a bit of cheese--and a picnic with your love [sigh] These two look like they are enjoying this spot in the grape arbor. Thanks to Playingwithbrushes and the Graphics Fairy for the backgground pieces, Collage Images Flickr group for the young lovers, Google images for the grape vines and Jeanette for the inspiration piece.
