We too are doing Adirondack chairs for public art this year. Did the auto body shops prime them or put a finish coat on them?
Thanks!

What a treat to see something in my little neck of the woods in the spotlight.

Yes, they’re quite something to see around town. If I had a cam, I would have grabbed some pics for you this coming summer.
Some of these artists’ renderings are really spectacular and a bit unexpected!
I sure wish the site would have more about the Farmers Market on the Green and the Root Glen Gardens – they’re spectacular in the summer.

Hey Kathy–great post! Turns out my painter friend, Lucie Wellner, painted one of the chairs last year. Hers looks like tree shadows on the rocker.

I love the chairs – and they are so much more useful than the painted cows and pigs I’ve seen other cities sponsor.

Wow!! Those chairs are gorgeous! I would love to have something like that. One can always dream.

I love those chairs, Kathy. Our city had people build bicycle sculptures, and put them around before auctioning them. Then, they did stars. They are currently having people paint rain barrels. I may try to bid on one of those when they become available. I’ve been wanting one, anyway.

The days are getting longer! Yea!

I have an old wooden chair I bought for $5 at a garage sale years ago with the idea that I’d paint it and set it out in the garden. It’s been sitting in the garage taking up space ever since. This post reminded me of my original plan for it … I think I’ll enlist the help of some artistic friends!

Karrita, thank you for stopping by. MMD, they are inspiring, aren’t they? Hi, Nancy–yes, lots of fun! I’m sure they encourage visitors to keep looking for the next one.
