Mr. Matisse and His Cutouts

Mr. Matisse is a painter with "the sun in his tummy." His colors make everyone happy. But one day he becomes ill and has to have a major operation. When he wakes up in a white hospital room, he misses his colors. 'Bring my brushes Bring my paint ' But the sheets are not smooth and taut like canvas. And the walls and ceiling are too far away. What will he do now?
