Room

-- To “Woman in White Dress” painted by Matisse (1941)

 

Room full of sky Greenish-sky-blue clouds

Dog-legged chair Room where a bright yellow chair floats

The ground is mustard Fresh mustard color

The woman's face is less than a tenth of her white dress

There’s nothing from neck to the top of head, right?

 

Note on the Muse:

There are times when the yellow that Matisse uses feels like mustard.

His soft lines are also like that. Even a chair looks like bread as well.
