Influences: Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse
"The Red Lady"
Painted alla prima (in one go, wet in wet).
I started off my painting with observing this potted house plant. I impulsively painted in teal blue. I had come off a period of painting commissioned portraits, and loosened up by diving into this improvised composition.
