This is such a darling little chair. It is painted black with gold leaf trim, and the chair seat is covered in a saucy faux animal print. (Insert Eartha Kitt's kitty puuurrrrrrr here.) I'd love this chair for a little make up table or home office chair, or that cute little chair you'd have in a hallway by the telephone. You know, once upon a time, and not too long ago either, telephones had cords attached to them, and you couldn't be mobile the way you can with cell phones. You'd want a nice little table to put that telephone on, with a chair, a pen, and pad of paper nearby. Also a phone book would be tucked away in the table's drawer. Remember those?... phone books?
This blog showcases the 365 chairs that Diane painted thorughout 2009. Some chairs are traditional, most are quite unusual, and they all have a story behind them. Have a seat in your own favorite chair and enjoy. The sketches are painted on Winsor & Newton Cotman 140 lb. cold pressed 4 x 6" watercolor sheets, using Winsor & Newton French Ultramarine blue.

"I’m a recent but already huge fan of Diane Carnevale’s Chair du Jour blog. Every day she posts an elegant and accurate blue and white watercolor of a different chair — famous icons and wacky one-offs, both. Better yet, she’s well educated in the world of chair design, and includes a history of each chair, plus her own always-witty personal commentary."
