Kandinski's Advice


Prints Available: FineArtAmerica.com

This is the first little abstract painting I did.  I started painting abstract only a few months ago mostly in response to a quote from Kandinsky I read on another artist's site.  So far most of my abstracts have been small.  I've tried a few larger ones and by larger I mean still small by abstract painting standards.  This one is only a 7" x 5".

My method, process, motivation, whatever... is that after agonizing over my illustrations and other art projects, sometimes I just need to as Kandinski put it:


"…lend your ears to music, open your eyes to painting, and…stop thinking! Just ask yourself whether the work has enabled you to “walk about” into a hitherto unknown world. If the answer is yes, what more do you want?"

Kandinsky, 1910
