Because I love the visual arts, I intersperse such throughout SitWithMoi. Well, the poet and visual artist Jean Vengua made my day when she sent over these lovely 2" x 2" paintings! Of chairs!!!!
One is a cafe chair while the other is a rush chair. Naturally, I have to shelve these lovelies somewhere -- so I did on the "Tennessee Yellow Chair" which, whiile a mini-chair, is oversized for Jean's paintings!
Some of Jean's paintings, by the way, are available on Etsy.com. And if you're interested in my personal engagement with her "haptic drawings," you can check out this article on OurOwnVoice.
Last but not least, I most definitely recommend Jean's poetry book, PRAU!
Maraming Salamat, Jean! I will treasure these paintings always!
Miniature Chairs for E-People ... because the image and concept of an 'empty chair' resonates ... and resonates so powerfully new poems may even surface. Moi is also the curator of the miniature "BOOKS ON CHAIRS" project, to which you are invited ...

TENNESSEE YELLOW!
So the last of the three chairs I purchased in Oregon actually came from Tennessee -- this metal chair painted in pale yellow and with a "distressed" effect. Made by Creative Co-Op of Memphis. I find it charming:
[Prov.: Paddington Station, Ashland, Oregon. Size: 10" height, 3.75" width, 3.75" depth]
