ARTIST STATEMENT

One of my favorite Artists is Henri Matisse.  I love his use of color and design.  I also love the juxtaposition of figures and objects.   Everything in motion and with a joy of life.   This is what I think of when I think of the countries of the Caribbean.  Music, food, laughter, and the sea.  So when I began to think of what I might paint to submit to Caliente, I immediately thought of Matisse.   This is my tribute to Matisse and to the people and culture of the Caribbean.
