Nature's Gold

A Robert Frost poem comes to mind when I look at this chair. It is Spring again in Maine and I anxiously await those first tiny leaves on the maples behind our house. Such a precious and rare green , made more so by the fact it only lasts a few days. This paint was actually a happy accident. I wanted Ben Moore's "Sunburst" which is a bold and bright yellow. The paint store guy was interrupted by another customer while he was mixing the paint and I think an extra shot of green pigment got mixed in. Not a problem. When I set the finished chair outdoors I loved the color and thought of the Frost poem and that coming first green that would be too soon gone.
