Muskoka Chairs - painting in 3-D!
I painted these chairs for a fundraiser for the Arts Council of Muskoka...  
although I hate to admit it now, it seems I also paint them for fun!

Each chair goes through many stages of painting... first a sanding and a coat of
wood primer, then a base coat of the main colour, then layers of colour glazes for
the details, and finally - many coats of UV-resistant acrylic varnish. Each
averages about 40 hours of labour. Want one? Just ask - I'm hooked now!!
Matty's chair. This is one of those new-fangled folding chairs - very cool but tough to get into those tight spots.
