Shared experiences with a friend are often the memories we savor over time. These are the friends who share and regard conversations as a sacred trust. Savor those memories. They are a blessing from God and food for your soul.
Those of you who follow my blog already know that chairs are one of my favorite contemporary icons. They imply a human presence so that you can imagine your own dear friend or loved one sitting across from you.
There is a subtle division of space in this piece found in the raw umber tones that cross the piece from edge to edge with the chairs helping to form the shape and connection. The chairs, of course, were painted with gouache and then soft pastel was brushed on by scraping it off onto a disposable plate first. The hake brush or old blush brush will provide the best application.
The soft ray of diagonal color certainly helped me to determine where to place those chairs as well as the direction of the square. The rectangular shape in the upper right quadrant was created with white gouache and the corner of a credit card. All of these design decisions begin with something. Remember that any cropped portion of a discarded piece can be your beginning. Just something to think about.

I love this! Both the art and your comments about friendship. It has a warm-fuzzy feeling and the "sun ray" behind the chair is a beautiful touch.
