Biographical Information: This painting was as result of travels in England. A guest house I stayed in, in the countryside, had many chairs strategically arranged in rows in the lounge. I found them most curious and figurative in nature. The view through the window was a composite of plant forms I viewed at Kew Gardens in London. I like to create images from memory that combine the most important elements and associations. This is often a collage of different references, rather than one specific view. I am interested in an atmosphere created from light and suggestions of form abstract in nature. (Wolf, 1981).
