The Purple Chair at Bayview

The Purple Chair on the second floor of Bayview Cash Store
I've always been attracted to that plush purple (burgundy?) chair. I've wanted to sketch it ever since I saw Henry Stinson paint it in guache as a workshop demo. I have tried sitting in it - it's definitely better for sketching than for sitting.

  2. I like the shadows on the chair caused by the lamp.
