Painting: Matisse’s Woman with a Hat

This piece is a departure from my most recent paintings. I started with a colorful image. In this case, I used a section of Henry Matisse’s “A Woman with a Hat.” I pixelated it. An then tried to reproduce the pixelated image on a 12″w x 12″h canvas. It was a fun challange to try paint each square with the right value and color. The result is a striking image of a woman’s face when viewed from a distance. When viewed up close, all you see is a fun pattern of colors.

How much is this one? Still makes me dizzy but it may look good on our red wall in the living room.
