Matisse and Whitley
The Red Studio by Henri Matisse has been a favourite of mine for the same reasons I love Brett Whitley's work. My eye keeps landing on the blank area in the middle of the canvas and then darts off to explore various elements of the studio, before putting it away for another day.

I was a bit surprised to see that my infatuation with this style began those many years ago... Los Angeles 1 - Russell Jones Los Angeles 2 - Russell Jones And today... LA point of View - Russell Jones
