Design notes: This was created for a fixed palette contest to produce something new but which "would look at home in a Matisse painting". Matisse painted in a rather primitive way but the styles of his backgrounds and settings came from the oriental and polynesian themes popular in decor at the turn of the century.
Other colours, stylings, sizes and orientations are available on request and you can even ask for a combination of several designs together.
