I love Matisse's use of negative space in many of his cut out works...I don't seem to be able to leave much in my own, but that's not a bad thing.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09133136131391691450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936122319979550678.post-69119664460838513812011-01-11T21:42:29.073-05:002011-01-11T21:42:29.073-05:00Fabulous!

Your compositions seem much more vibrant, to me!Penny L Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06925753212072721686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936122319979550678.post-5080050820017379782011-01-11T10:42:20.889-05:002011-01-11T10:42:20.889-05:00Isn't it interesting how and where inspiration...Isn't it interesting how and where inspirations show up in our work? <br /><br />I hope Allan likes the mirror once it arrives!<br /><br />I know you love Kaleidoscope--it's waiting to go to a new home...in Sanford, perhaps?! :-)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09133136131391691450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936122319979550678.post-31120866202668296132011-01-10T17:53:51.780-05:002011-01-10T17:53:51.780-05:00Great post and I can easily see where you could ha...Great post and I can easily see where you could have been inspired by Matisse's work. Your work though is you and is different---but it has to feel good to know that others can see Matisse's influence in your work. <br /><br />I agree! Artists are influenced or inspired by everything we see and do.<br /><br />P.S. Your mirror is on the way to Alaska. It was hard to let go, but I do love Kaleidoscope shown in this post!Jeanne Rheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005420371983456968noreply@blogger.com
