Artist Interpretation: "When I read an article in the paper about the Arts Cooperative Team organizing this show involving Adirondack chairs and local artists, I decided to give it a shot. 

"I thought it was a good concept and a medium that I had not explored. The design idea came like any of my other paintings. I try to take a simple design and draw the viewer in with some sort of special feature. In this case, thick glittery paint is used to catch attention and little numbers and saying are used to keep attention. The pearl-like quality of the paint provides beauty and a variety of color from every angle."
