This hall chair would be fab by a little telephone desk. They used to have those kinds of darling things back when we didn't have cell phones that are surgically attached to people's ears. Ahhh, those were the days. This chair has Prince-of-Wales ostrich feather scrolling on the back which encircles a Royal crest of coronet carving. The solid baluster legs make for a sturdy chair.
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."
