When Matisse Met Tess 當馬蹄司遇到塔思小姐

We went to see the special exhibit of paintings, drawings, and sculptures by Henri Matisse in San Antonio Museum of Art.  This was a fabulous exhibit.  We were fortunate to see the works of this old French master.  After the show we went to the Museum Cafe for lunch.  We met the delightful waitress, Tess, who was wearing a colorful top that was just like the girls in Matisse's paintings.  We asked Tess to pose for us in front of the big Matisse poster in the cafe.  Here is my painting from the reference photo.  It depicts like Matisse was painting Tess.
