“Nowadays I try to put serenity into my pictures and re-work them as long as I have not succeeded”

Henri Matisse, from and Interview with Charles Estienne in 1909

Well it is Monday after all, for those of you who enjoyed my Monday Bouquets last year. As many of you know Henri Matisse is an artist hero of mine and quotations from one of my favourite books, Matisse on Art, will make great additions to my Monday posts; from Monday Bouquets to Matisse Mondays, from time to time. What could be better? Now, back to work!
