Queen Ann (*)

Our Living Room

This chair belonged to my mother's grandmother and came down through the family to me. I always loved it because of its curving beauty and because it shares my name. Behind the chair is part of our CD collection. My husband and I are lovers of all kinds of classical music. My favorites are early music and choral music and this is what is in the tower of CDs behind the chair. So this picture reflects my ancestors, my childhood and my ongoing love of classical music.

Beautiful light here and beautiful chair, the impersonification of solidity. Really feels like something over hundred years old

I really like this photo and the story behind it, Ann.

Olaf - The seat is covered in plastic to protect the needlepoint my aunt made to go on the chair. Usually I hate plastic seat covers but in this case it was necessary as the kitties discovered how good it felt to put their claws into this seat. So now they can't. :) Ann

I like this challenge. It's giving us a chance to learn a little about each other besides our shared passion for making images.
