Reading retailer Matisse 5x7 Painting

“Reading Matisse” from my series “Blue + Clay.”

This series explores a thread that has connected all my work throughout the years, retailer even as my subject matter has changed: the theme of time and place. I return again and again to mid-century years, nature, and the home.

This painting, a play on a classic Matisse silhouette with a love of books sprinkled in, was done in acrylic on canvas board and measures 5x7.” Signed and dated in bottom corner.
