This was my last chance to paint the marigolds I grew from life. It was really hard to say goodbye to them as they were so brilliant. The chair is one I painted several years ago, modified in this painting. In reality, every surface of the chair is painted with a design, but I felt too many details would take away the focus of the marigolds. I'm very happy with this painting. but I am NOT falling in love with it because that is "the kiss of death" for a painting, as a wise former mentor would say.
