The rustic “Watering Can on Chair” by Cecile Baird is a realistic portrayal of items weathered by use. Working as a designer in St. Louis and Los Angeles after receiving two art degrees, Baird returned to her home state of Ohio to design and sell figurines and note cards. Baird paints images of everyday objects in a photographic style that reveals their inner beauty. Baird’s work has been published in various art magazines, and has received awards in the United States and abroad.
