MATISSE'S RED ROOM

Really testing the theory with this painting. Can I paint a bird in a tree with a red sky and make it work?. Well, even I am surprised. So far it looks like I can. So, if a deep red can work then any colour will, its a green light for my theory (sorry).

Very pleased with the start. What I am also liking is that I have not fallen into the trap of merely repeating a successful formula. That is taking the style of ‘Bird in a tree 15’, and just adding a red background

Bird in a tree 16. At the end of day 1.
