This composition evolved out of my last visit to the South of France where I was inspired by the work of Matisse. During my stay at a lovely hotel, I couldn't help but remember how Matisse changed his painting technique during a summer in Mediterranean village when he produced his major works Open Window and Woman with a Hat in 1905. He found his style and began to paint with bright colors and strong brush strokes. As I sat in the restaurant gazing out at the Bay of Nice, I imagined what it would be like to have a conversation with Matisse, to learn about how he saw the world and his use of color and form. I then thought about how my surroundings would be transformed if Matisse were to paint this scene. He would use his signature elements of saturated colors, a flattened pictorial space, limited detail and strong outlines. The woman would be surrounded by bright hues of orange and yellow with patterns and designs in fabric, clothes and carpet. Now imagine yourself joining her and Matisse, deciding what to choose from the menu, watching the sailboats catching a breeze and a village of white buildings reflecting the sunlight on the distant shore.

The evolution of my art has indeed been a journey of discovery…expanding and absorbing a variety of art forms leading to the development my own personal process to create an impactful image on the canvas. This process can take several weeks or even a month before the final painting is accomplished. It begins with a careful study of color and the geometry of the composition and how that flow of color and light will illuminate, define and project the character, form and emotion of the figures in the scene. The initial phases include making many small sketches to discover the harmonic patterns of color and geometry to be used as well as the flow of light and shadow. And then the image is sketched on the canvas and the painting process begins. Blending the colors and watching them take form in a sensuous woman resting in a room or sitting in a garden transports me into a realm of beauty and harmony. Layer upon layer of glazes and highlights add to the depth of color and luminosity, following the leadership of the great artists of the past. My focus and intention is to share my passion with you. I desire to create a window of a beautiful scene that will transport you to another reality where you can experience the feeling of that time and place.
