The Don King Chairs
Wednesday, August 18, 2010
In Beth’s yard (see yesterday’s blog) are several gardens. These are round, about 20’ in diameter, and are filled with many beautiful hostas and other shade loving plants, always with a tree in the middle.
In each garden among the flowers are always 2 chairs which are hand made from willow trees. The backs of the chairs are made of branches about ½” in diameter and the ends of the branches with even smaller diameters just stick up another 2-3 feet, much like Don King’s hair. Hence Beth’s husband calls these the Don King chairs!
It was near one of these gardens that I stood doing my oil painting of a huge maple tree. It was wonderful being in such a lovely and serene place.
