Based on Matisse's "Luxumbourg Gardens"

This is about the most electrically colorful painting I've seen. Matisse has used color compliments in places like the leaves of the tree (it may be fall but one wonders) and the sunny parts of the oval trees. I thought they were boulders when I first looked at it. The road in the foreground is hardly recognizable due to the shadows which he has made deep purple. He has placed yellow the color compliment of purple next to it which makes them both more alive. There is red-orange on one side and it's compliment blue green on the other side of the painting. There is bluish red and it's opposite yellow green. Lots of fun to look at, tricky to mix the colors. I blew the curve in the road having early on painted over my guide lines. I got lost in the colors and forgot the structure. It could be fixed, but this is all about colors so I'm just going to enjoy it for the present.
