Another Past Art Challenge

 

Back in 2017, one of the challenges of my Art Challenge Group was "Russia".  Having never been to Russia, I struggled with the subject until I remembered my affection for a certain Russian born artist, Wassily Kandinsky.  I have always loved Kandinsky's abstract and geometric works.  So I decided to attempt a Kandinsky-like drawing in colored pencil.  This was the result. 


Last October when I was in New York, I got to see the actual painting I used as my inspiration for my drawing.  I had my friend Glenda take a photo of me by the painting.

The Guggenheim Museum had an exhibit of Kandinsky's works.  Solomon Guggenheim was a friend and patron of Kandinsky and he owned a very large number of his works, all of which were on display

On Sharon's Sojourns today I've created a post all about that exhibit.  So many beautiful pieces!
