At left, be a "Suncatcher" relaxing in this
dazzling chair - and
right on the comfort of your own lawn! The artist is Luci Wilson.
See this one on pre-auction display at St. Thomas Episcopal Church.
Right, "Fish Crazy" by Arlene Rutledge would
make a great companion piece, with its palm trees and brightly
colored tropical fish. This one even comes with a chair pad! (Check out
those little sea turtles on the arms of the chair.) The chair can be previewed at
Bridgeman's.

"Drawn to the Flame" is the work of artist Abby
Clough, who has skillfully used the knots and grain in the natural
wood to suggest her theme. Note how the sunbursts on the arm of
the chair echo the form of the wood knots. This lovely chair
can be seen at Pearce Jewelry.

Susan Johnson's "Peacock" chair (right) certainly lives up
to its name, with the slats of the chairback suggesting
the fanning tail of the bird. Catch this stunner on pre-auction
display at Ledyard Bank in New London.

A whimsically inventive design by Christine Hauck in
"Aerial Views" features more than just
a sky with fluffy clouds. Remember when you were a kid and
used to love to
"find things" in the clouds? Well, that's what this chair does, with
white animals such as mice and polar bears hidden in the cloud
forms! See it at Mascoma Savings Bank in Lebanon.

This lovely and unusual treatment is "Spring Songs"
by Barbara McAllister. If people say the finches in this
chair look like they're about to fly right out of the painting...
well, they're not kidding! Preview it at Ledyard Bank in Hanover.
