"Longing for Peace"


"Longing for Peace" is my latest painting that is painted on a 14" x 11" canvas board. I'm trying to develop my own style instead of copying from Matisse. I love colorful paintings so I'm exaggerating the colors like Matisse but I'm trying to soften the images. I'm not trying to paint realistic portraits but I want them to have character and emotion.
