A friend asked if I could paint her some wallpaper. I used a black & white photo of a plant in Henri Matisse’s studio for the final painting. The original is small, now she’s gonna have two inkjet prints of 1.75 x 5.00 meter and 1.75 x 4.05 meter facing each other, fun!

For the last couple of weeks I’ve been watercoloring flowers for a large firm in Japan. Sometimes they corrected me. The illustration at the left was no good; the brief became: all flowers same size, five petals only, show the leaves > middle. I understand the balance they were looking for.
