Indigo Mermaid Cut Out- in progress

You know when you call on a great master to help you out with something, they typically answer. Maybe they are thrilled to be called on, maybe they are thrilled to be remembered? Anyway, I created the indigo mermaid cut-out on one side of the buoy- and then I was REALLYstruggling with the figure on the other side. Then he spoke to me- Henri Matisse spoke to me. Henri told me to create the same figure, to use my gorgeously painted papers from last week, and reverse the image. Matisse reversed and repeated images in his works all the time! Duh- after he told me, I felt dumb- like I should have thought of it. I still think the all indigo side is stronger- by I’m grateful to Matisse for his guidance and wisdom

tonight.
