My Montreal chair from Baltimore or somewhere in the U.S.

I don't even know where Baltimore is. And where is Philadelphia, by the way, if the chair happens to be from there?  And how about Phoenix or wherever the chair was found by Internet?  Very nice packaging of a special bamboo chair just for for me!  And it's a beautiful chair with short legs.  I wonder if I got any of the American cities of the chair's origin right! It doesn't matter because the chair is probably not from the U.S. at all.  I feel that it is from a country such as Sri Lanka, but that is my intuition working overtime. 

I am sure that today they had a few jumps in stocks and blood pressure in the glass palace. It was a very interesting visit and discovery for me!  I would love to have that red, organic, womb-like couch!

I sketched the chair in my studio just to mark the day and to follow the ancient Greek artists axiom of drawing at least one line a day!  I almost feel like the chair is from a Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale. I grew up with fairy tales and he was one of my favourite authors, but so sad!  Will the story of the chair be a sad or happy one?

Now I must focus on the painting...it must be finished before the 25th of May! The chair needs a cushion. I sat on it and made my own pose...if only the ghost of Velasquez could have seen!

I will have a few special visitors to the studio in the next few days and weeks...it's as though the studio is taking on a life of its own...every person that enters leaves their energy, and these energies combined create a story...a story of Montreal, going faster and faster!
