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 have the same fun with Whiteley's Self Portrait.

I recently discovered a couple sketches I did after a trip to Los Angeles. I was a bit surprised to see that my infatuation with this style began those many years ago...
