This is the last idea from the course I’ve been following. Loosely based on his Upward (1929).
Moving on now to another of my favourite artists: Klimt…
Last of Kandinsky for now!

Kandinsky continues
The landscapes are coming. But here is another exercise based on his ’30’:
As the topic for our ATC group for QIV Oct-Dec 2025 is:
‘an all black and white one – it might just be the ticket to end this year’
I have based my set on the ’30’ theme and will upload them when I’ve sent my cards out to the group. To work so small (2.5 inches x 3.5 inches) I made them on the iPad using Procreate. I think I was cross-eyed by the end of the many hours it took, doing one or two at a time.
I went to Tate Modern to see Picasso . The space was rather dark because of the fine line etchings I guess but it made it hard for older eyes to see! Loved seeing The Three Dancers ‘in the flesh’ – it makes such a difference seeing pictures you know from books the real size. It is the dancers’ centenary appearance.
Take out window
Harking back to the days when lockdown was sort of over and cafes were re-opening with measures to avoid people entering the premises! Drinks would appear at a hatch and a voice would yell out a number or what the offering was. Not very friendly but it was better than nothing.
