MY CREATIVE AGING TOOLSET

Perhaps the artists who inspire me the most are Monet and Matisse. Claude Monet kept working until the end despite the onset of blindness. His final series of giant waterlily paintings were gifted to France to heal the country after the First World War. I have seen this exposition on video and it never fails to move me. Then there is Matisse who kept creating despite severe illness in his final years. His concluding project was to design the Chapel of the Rosary in France. I have watched documentaries on this project and been moved to tears. I am not the only one who feels this way. One can sense the profound love Matisse poured into this project.
