CHAIR THE STAR [stars]


chair,Chair! CHAIR?, whenever i've put a chair in a illustration or painting - it,they, have played a very minor role-and never a well developed one. So I decided to make the CHAIR the STAR - Today [besides it is the topic for the week] I hope they don't get any BIG ideas-depends on the reviews I suppose.
anyway, this is of course a digital, original-based on our dining area-although I played fast and loose with the snow-we have the white stuff, but it doesn't look like this.

Yes, they are stars in their own right here. Great composition... the one tilted in to the table... and the great colors on the high chair. Really clean, reflective floor, too! Nice.

I like it - very dramatic, great reflections and touch of dog presence as well as human members!

Hey, this is great, a chair family with a baby and all. Well done and fine colours.

wonderful
and especially including the high chair...
I am imagining these chairs are reflecting on their earlier evening and the good time that was had at the table

It could be that 'tony' does come by time to time,to check out my chairs, maybe I let him sit in them, and maybe I don't. I'm afraid miss pretty, there's a vicious rumor going around-that pink is not perhaps his favorit color afterall

A very peaceful scene, this...the snow adds a lot (it's really exotic for me, since we don't get it in this part of the world). I'd hang out in this room!

It glimmers and looks so shiny and clean. My dining room doesn't look that shimmery and gleaming.

Nice!

Great Ill. girl love the shading in this. The high chair is the star! Have a good week!

Cool. The one chair must have had a little something in it's drink. The chair looks passed out.

True stars, one and all. I love the snow! I like your image!

A family of chairs! This is a strong composition featuring lovely colours, with skilled contrasts of tonal areas (light and dark). The chairs all have individual character, but none moreso than the tilted one.

fortwertz said...

This reminds me of such nostalgia. Well done!

HARDWAX said...

Thanks for your comments Cloud. Yes, I played with the snow to present the chairs better-all objects and tones and textures, are there for one reason-to spotlight the chairs,secondary objects,such as the moon, tabletop objects, etc.,the presentation is minimal-almost not there in the case of the houses seen thru sliding doors
