passionate about painting!
I only found out last month this pose is a likeness to a Matisse painting, the Teacher set it up in his studio but I was unaware he was influenced by Matisse it must be 5 years old not sure I was happy to find Matisse had already done it. LOL

Excellent use of color. It does have that feeling of an influence of Matisse, but I do see your style clearly. Well done.
Virginia McGowan replied

Yes thanks Jim, I often got told I looked like so and so and had ever heard of them way back it’s just humans really do think alike , nothing new underneath.
