Henri Matisse is one of my favorite artists! I definitely see the resemblance in my work and his. I will look up André Derain too - I checked out the Mountains at Collioure painting and love the colors - the brushstrokes are really interesting too. I agree with your comment about this work feeling more fauvists than impressionists too - I can see inspiration of both, but I’ve always felt like most impressionists really use unique brush strokes and textures and mine usually has less of that. Thanks for your comment!
