Another fun opportunity to mix art and music with this recent illustration for the HearSej Podcast.

In her recent conversation with Oz band Telenova’s Angeline Armstrong, host musician Seja asks what her strangest show experience was.

It’s probably easier to understand the illustration if you hear Angeline describe her experience on the podcast.. a funny recollection about a bizarre gig in Berlin which the band played a few years ago.

My interpretation is based on that story and the fact Angeline is also a keen and active film maker.

The convo is available on all podcast platforms and the illustration on the podcasts Instagram page.

'Due Date' - Matisse homage painting by Leith O'Malley 42 x 29cm

Oil + collage on 300gsm acid free paper.

I have a quite rare and interesting book in my collection about the French artist Henri Matisse written by John Jacobus. I bought it at a library sale many years ago. It still has (well used to have) the library borrowers card in the rear of the book along with some hand written due dates.

There are some beautiful colour plates within the book, one of which inspired me to create my own interpretation of a painting by Matisse titled ‘The Piano Lesson’ which currently hangs in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

I decided to include the borrowers card within the painting itself and create something that obviously references Henri’s original painting but at the same time with my own personal spin.

My homage painting is called 'Due Date'.

Hope you like it.
