Henri Rousseau

This week I have been fascinated with Henri Rousseau, a French 'naive' painter. While his style didn't appeal to me immediately, I love the bold, clear colour and design of his paintings. Most of all though, it's the weird, dreamy subject matter that sticks with me.

Haha. I have seen quite a few of Rousseau in the past exhibitions. I don't know why, but his style somehow makes me giggle...
