Resplendent is part of an ongoing series I am doing using Fauve painters like Matisse and Bonnard for inspiration. They painted beautiful scenes as seen through windows that I admire. I use ideas, colors, patterns and other inspirations from Matisse and in this case Pierre Bonnard (1867 - 1947) paintings in combination with my own spin. This shows an interior done all in warm colors framing a beautiful view of Catalina island, looking down into the town of Avalon, from the approximate location of Zane Greys' former adobe home. Behind the scenes color and composition: I arranged it so the interior is mainly warm colors, and the exterior is mainly cool colors. I used the diagonal yellow orange line of a chair on the right to lead your eye into the scene, then used similar colors go around the window and back down to the chair on the left. Then I used cobalt blue bars across the chair on the left and up the window on right to lead your eye diagonally from left to right.
