Goodness, it is time for our first TeaPotter Swap of 2021! Jean (jkanack) has brought us an artist that lived her life HER way and we are the richer for it! Check out Jean's commentary for the details.
To say I was deeply moved by Mary's art is an understatement. There are so many articles and photos of her work. Here are two that spoke to me.
The first, scroll down to the second photo and continue to scroll down from Mary to the photo of her living room. I loved there were different kinds of chairs and I couldn't help but recall Henry David Thoreau's quote:
A house needs these chairs: Ones for solitude, Ones for friendship and then those for society!
And so I set about to create a room Mary would feel comfortable in! My windows are from pages of two very fine catalogs, both looking out to water. I selected three very diverse chairs to represent the quote. I love chairs and can't really count the number of different ones I have in my home!
If you have wondered about my red mushroom hanging upside down, it's my chandelier for the lake house room...Mary would have loved it! Resourceful, an early recycler, an eye for the beauty of all nature, what a charmed life she lived. I believe she would have loved our TeaPotter group...can you just imagine what her card would be?
Thanks so much for looking...I'd love to know which chair you'd pick...or tell me about your most favorite chair...

Fantastic card inspired by an amazing artist. It would be a hard decision for me between the modern and the cozy chair. Form over function or function over form? Hmm.
