It was such a pleasure to make this painting.  In winter when I took this yellow reading chair from my daughters room they were not so happy.  But in Spring when I removed it to paint again beneath the apple tree they were delighted to go outside to read under the blossoms.   The blossoms, the bees, and the comfort of this very soft velvet chair felt hopeful to me.  At first I wished one of the girls would sit for me but as I made the painting I thought it best empty.  In this way it invites you in to sit and smell the blossoms, to rest or read or just daydream for a while.   This painting is unframed.  If you have any questions I hope you will contact me.  If you would like to see other in progress images please visit my Instagram: the link is on my home page in the upper right.   There is one very funny video on instagram of me carrying this chair outside in winter ...my husband making me laugh.  I wish you well.
