interior with aubergines 1911
This morning I was trawling holiday possibilities on islands off the coast of Qld, daydreaming really...
Later on I found myself drawn to this image above 'Interior with Aubergines' on The Blue Lantern Blog for its sheer joyfulness. Wanting to see more of this actual work I googled it and found a series of images here at Olga's Gallery that really appealed so I posted them above. What a wonderful reverie...the open window looking onto the Bay...I would love to visit here this summer and spend time reading books on that lounge, eating oysters, aubergines, walking along that bank, drinking tea in those interiors and looking in on Matisse painting every so often.

Delightful!
Thank you Curator.
I believe for a moment this morning I was with Matisse on holidays in all that colour.

Oh I love Matisse! Thanks for this post Sophie! I hadn't seen some of these before.
Its a pleasure to find new images - quite a few were from St Petersburg - The Hermitage - which I think is why for me they were so fresh.
The website titled 'Olga's Gallery' where all but the bottom image were found seemed to have a predominantly Russian presence.
Hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving Mlle Paradis!
