Towne, Arlene

Travel and painting are my passion.  I have participated in shows at Tacoma Community College, local galleries in Tacoma and Gig Harbor.  I was educated at the University of Washington and have taken several workshops by local and international artists.  I have a studio at Jet Artist Cooperative in Tacoma.  Painting outside the lines and with no rules are my mantra.

I was recently in Mexico and enjoyed the bright colors and designs.  I decided to paint a chair that represented the bright, colorful art of Mexico.
Palm trees and flowers seemed to be the way to go.  I painted with abandon not even drawing first.  I wanted to make it a happy chair that would make people smile and forget the gray days of winter.

"Potted" is a vintage potty chair updated.  It is for a garden, a child's room or just for fun.  It brought back memories of my children while I was creating it.  Potty chair designs have changed over the years but their original function is always there.
