Sofa for Dining Seating

 Design and photo:  By others

The need has come  up to shift some pieces of furniture around the house to accommodate a day bed in the sun room for a guest.  The lovely old Regency Revival style sofa in the sun room will soon function as additional seating at the dining table.  Research on the internet revealed these varied examples of sofa seating for dining.

Painting With Acrylic: Beginning lesson on color

In last night's class,  we learned about primary, secondary and tertiary colors. We talked about warm colors appearing "aggressive" and cool colors appearing to "recede". We worked through and observed these concepts in an exercise by painting layers in the style of the great Color Field Painter of the Twentieth Century, Mark Rothko. I'm grateful for such attentive students! (The image shown here is my class demonstration piece.)
