The open window
The painting open window by Henri Matisse, is a landscape of a window in France. Outside the double window, there are boats on the sandy shore. On the windowsill the are plant pots with flowers. This painting was painted when Henri Matisse was looking outside his window.
This painting will grip you, and you will want to see more of his pleasing art.
I like how Henri Matisse has used different painting techniques. One of the techniques is dabbing, dabbing is where you press a paintbrush down on the canvas, this technique is used for the flora in the painting. Another technique is long strokes, Henri Matisse used long strokes for the window and the background. He has also used short strokes for the boats and flower pots. I think that it is a quality painting, because he used different brush strokes to add more detail.
Henri Matisse has used range of hot and cold colours. The sky has a mixture of blue, pink, purple, and white, all the colours mix well together the are very well contrasted. One half of the background is a hot pink while the other half is a turquoise, they are not touching, but it still contrasts well.
I like how Henri Matisse painted outside his room window. I like it because it is unique because nearly every artist paints from a different perspective, and it is very detailed. I also like it because the people can see what Henri Matisse looks at nearly everyday, It is a wonderful view so I think that many people will like it. I can make a connection of when I lived closer to Moana I would look out my double window every day and see a beautiful sunrise or sunset.

Overall I think it is a wonderful painting. I think that Henri Matisse has put a lot of time and thought into this painting. It looks like Henri Matisse has a lot of skills for painting.

for my creative response I wrote a poem about the view then I painted some vines on the paper. I put a piece of blue paper as the background then I sploshed some dark blue paint on it.
