I visited the Art Institute of Chicago recently to preview the new Matisse exhibit, "Matisse: Radical Invention: 1913-1917." It was inspiring for me as I develop my eye and skills to see how he had experimented and reworked his paintings and sculptures so many times to achieve the effects, goals and feelings he sought. Of particular interest was his painting, "Interior with Goldfish," a room he had lived in in Paris. It had "...a distinctive light, warmed by the reflection of the sun on walls opposite." Warm light and reflections were two images in my mind when I came across this scene the next night while shooting on location. I loved the feel of the room, the colors, the green lamp on the wall, and the angle of view. All pretty mundane perhaps, but taken as a whole it moved me enough to shoot a bracket and work this finished image up. My inspiration accompanies it.
