Bon jour Monsieur Matisse

from w
Friends from Melbourne, Joe and Va, gave Peceli a bag of plums the other day, so before we eat them all, I took a photo of them. They reminded me of Matisse's colourful paintings and I wonder what he might have done if he lived amidst us today! And the Fauves too of course.

What would Matisse do if he had a computer?

I am sure that those impressionists and post-impressionists would have a good time with the editing programs available. Here are some variations that Matisse might be interested in, still keeping his flat surfaces and decorative shapes. I am avoiding getting down to doing a painting using one of these variations!
