One Hundred and Two Years Ago






Five small vertical paintings done in Nice this year.  8x6 oil on multimedia artboard.

I've read that when Henri Matisse first showed up in Nice in 1917, it rained for two solid weeks.   He decided to stay after the sun came out because he loved the light so much.  It's hard to believe that was 102 years ago, and that Matisse was almost fifty years old at the time.
