The Dance in the Garden – Homage to Matisse
While composing this painting of the light blue irises, I began to visualize the rhythmic composition in the famous painting “The Dance” by Henri Matisse. I often visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC where his work is prominently displayed.
I find his painting joyous. Buoyant. This is how I felt while creating this painting.

Saw the Matisse exhibit. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw your painting. Its wonderful.
