few days left!

There are still a few days left to order calendars in time for Christmas!

I'm working on some tonight, so place your order now if you'd like me to get yours in the mail tomorrow too!

we have a winner!

Time to announce the winner! I had to do a "names in a hat" drawing since the way the comments worked out the numbering would have been kind of awkward.

The winner of a 2010 calendar is Traci! (check out her great blog!) Contact us at kimberlyapplegate@fuse.net to let us know which calendar you'd like!

And as a bonus, I drew a runner-up and it's... Kelly! (and check out her great blog too!) You win a print! Contact us and I'll give you the details!

Thanks so much for playing!

calendar contest!

We thought it'd be fun to have another giveaway this year for a calendar, so here's the scoop.

To enter, all you have to do is blog, twitter, or facebook about Kimberly's calendars with a link back to them, and then in the comment section of this post, leave YOUR link to your blog post, or tell us of your tweet or facebook wall post.

Want to enter more than once? Go for it! You may enter up to three times if you blog, tweet, and facebook about the calendars.

The winner will be chosen by random.org and will win his/her choice of the "modern," "relaxers," or "birds love chairs" calendar. If you've already bought your calendar, you may choose 2 prints, or another calendar, of course!

Your entries will be accepted now through midnight Thursday night (the 10th).

If you have any questions, just email!

2010 calendars are here!

The calendars are 5.5" x 8.5" and are printed with archival inks on premium heavy-weight matte paper. Each image is suitable for framing.

The pages are joined together with a silver ball chain and clasp that allows you to remove the months.

There are three different calendars available again this year, featuring some of my most popular images and themes.

The price is the same as last year, $34, plus $3.75 s/h.

"Modern"

"Relaxers"

"Birds Love Chairs"

Facebook!

Fun news! Kimberly now has a Facebook page! It's only 24 hours old, so it's really bare right now, but we can't wait to keep you updated better this way and for you all to upload and show off your artwork!

Become a fan... you won't want to miss a contest we'll be running next week!

Here's the link, or you can search for Kimberly Applegate under "pages."

See you there!

precedent

For the record, I’m not the first painter to find a significant connection between the chair and art. David Hockney painted Three Chairs with Picasso Mural in 1970. And I’m sure he wasn’t the first either.

To me, there’s a story in every chair. We spend so much time in them. A chair is a place to collapse at the end of the day. We turn to them to read our favorite books, write letters, watch movies, or sometimes simply take in the view around us. In our chairs, we gather around tables, commune, break bread together. Ideas are born, dreams conjured up, and decisions are made in chairs.

Many of you have written to me with stories about the moment you spotted your favorite chair at a flea market or when a beautiful chair was handed down from a beloved friend or grandparent. A chair that has lived a long life with one family, perhaps, gets a paint job or new upholstery and its existence begins all over again.

Chairs are so human as their shape mimics the body. Chairs tell us about ourselves. They play archivists to our history. Sunken deep under the cushion of our favorite chair one can find a ticket stub to that great concert, or old coins from a memorable trip to Europe (before they switched to the Euro!).

How much thought are you giving to the chair you are sitting in as you are reading this?

big spender

6" x 6" oil on gessoed panel

~inspired by the Lockheed Lounge and a silkscreen by Andy Warhol~

Marc Newson’s Lockheed Lounge remains the most expensive chair ever sold. Designed in the mid-1980’s, the curving design takes its shape, as well as its name, from the aerospace industry. With only ten chairs produced, the Lockheed Lounge is highly sought after. In 2007, the bidding for one of these chairs skyrocketed to $1,500,000 at a Christie’s auction.

And to the highest bidder for Big Spender goes not only a fine portrait of the world’s most expensive chair, but an amusing story to tell at your next cocktail party.
