The heavy black outlines of the yellowish leg are the bold frontal centerpiece of strength. A rhythmic bunching of black stripes of the chair's architecture on the left are sustaining the tug of the extended horizontal arms. And the sensual curved back. on the right serves as a reaction to the tension.

Despite the madcap energy of the body, the lilac head rests easily onto the arm, the small darkened breast swings below like a peek-a-boo and the lower leg parallel to the bottom edge
has a flowing atmospheric quality.

House paint, acrylic paint, soft charcoal on heavy white paper.
48 x 36 inches.

A white paper border with splashes of paint all around varies from 1 to 8 inches wide. It can be cut off or left as is and be thumb tacked direct to a wall. For me, no framing necessary. It looks like a tapestry this way plus you save oodles of money for framing and for shipping it can be loosely rolled and sent in a large cardboard tube.
