Here is the frog design that I painted for the AIRdirondack Art Project. (I like to call it “The “Toadly Awesome Chair”).  The drawing of the chair was the proposal that I submitted to the contest jurors, and then after the design was given the green light I had four months to paint. The chair did not come with the bottom cross bar like it did last year so I adjusted the design of the frog’s mouth to rest in a nice closed smile instead of the open mouth. (But oh that crazy gaping mouth would’ve been fun to do!)

I like to think that the six orange and green circles that are on the back of the chair are the eyes of three little frogs peeking through the big frog’s toes!

Here’s the chair that I painted. The Blue Jay design was a go! I spent four months working on it between juggling my three kids and housework and I won’t go on it would just get boring, needless to say I took every spare moment and some late nights to finish this thing!

I found out that it will be hanging from the ceiling at a splendid little cafe for the next few months before it gets auctioned off at the gala. I can’t wait to see it from its lofty abode!
