This is an 11" x 14" oil painting that I did yesterday afternoon. I admire the work of Henri Matisse and they say you can learn by copying the 'Old Masters' so this is a copy of "The Green Line", 1905. It's a portrait of his wife, Madame Matisse. I love the colors and it was so much fun to paint! Thank goodness Matisse isn't alive to see how I butchered his wife's portrait! Click here is to see an image of the original painting and you will see what I mean.Monday, November 2, 2009
