I was surprised to find that Matisse actually painted realism

and nudes in black and white. This pretty lady is my impression

of one of his black and white nudes but with the facial expression 

and features changed. 

I thought she would be great in front of a very bold black,

 white and red background. Her pet cat is the only cat I could find

that Matisse painted. I have used this little guy a few times. I think 

he is so funny! Our Lady here must be a Matisse fan as well

with her framed painting of one of his red nudes.

There are two glasses of wine poured while she is Waiting

for The Man in The Moon. Why isn't he there?

What is he waiting for?

Enjoy!

The Man in the Moon is an imaginary figure resembling a human face, head or body, that observers from some cultural backgrounds typically perceive in the bright disc of the Full moon. The figure is composed of the dark areas (the lunar maria or "seas") and lighter highlands of the lunar surface.

"The Man in the Moon" can also refer to a mythological character said to live on or in the moon, but who is not necessarily represented by the markings on the face of the moon.
