The last painting from me in this challenge is one that I specifically painted to hang at Art Plus Gallery in W. Reading. The member artists at the gallery are having a friendly contest to create a piece of artwork that is inspired by our sweet Red Chair.. (See pics below). I was inspired by the chair, and also by a fellow member who decided to paint the chair in a Van Gogh painting. I really loved that idea so after getting a nod of approval, I shamelessly borrowed the idea and painted my red chair in a Matisse inspired painting - in fact, one of his most famous paintings titled "The Dessert: Harmony in Red" also known as the Red Room. I will include an image of Matisse's painting so you can compare and see the changes I have made to make it my own. Hope you enjoy!

This is so lovely! I recently saw the Matisse-Diebenkorn show in Baltimore. I recognized your inspiration immediately. :)
