So at the beginning of the summer, fresh from my first year at college and missing my roommates dearly, I concocted an idea, a plan you might say, to paint a chair for each of us. Including me, there are five young lasses total.

Originally, each was going to have their own chair, modeled after their favorite artist, but upon further thought, I began to fear a lack of cohesiveness. Secondly, I concluded that it would be silly for us to each have a one crazy chair upon moving out that would not go along at all with our respective dining room sets (because I doubt we will live together forever. In all likelihood- we will marry off, move away to grad school or jobs, or decide to become cat ladies and dog ladies and will be forced to part ways in our maid-hood). So you see, I decided to pick artists that would be fun to emulate, and went from there.

My dear friend, Salvation Army, provided the chairs ($24 total for all five!). I began in early June on Keith, and today, in mid-August, I finally completed Georgia.

Georgia O'Keefe

(A painting of a chair on a chair... get it? I thought it would be ironic.)

Keith Haring

*Being the intelligent person that I'm certain you are, you may have done the math and said to yourself, there are four chairs pictured here. Where is the fifth? My mom graciously painted a beautiful chair modeled after Klimt's swirly tree. As it is not my artwork and this blog is my artwork, I decided to leave it out. Sorry Gustav! Also, I want at least one chair to be a surprise to my roomies!
