Hi Lacey,

I like "A". That's what I was thinking about doing, but I am in love with those lines above the arch. Here is where I have to be ruthless I suppose. The chair is rather unusual and I love it for that (it's a cross between a Queen Anne and a Windsor--kind of the Quaker version). But I think that because one doesn't see the whole chair, those spindles above the arch are just odd.
Oh well. I'll have to use this chair in it's entirety in another painting.
I think I will probably end up going with "A". But I'll sleep on it first.
Thanks!
