Love the colors and patterns here!  Reminds me of some of Kandinsky's older work, like this one...

You have a unique approach to digital media.

Thank you for the lovely comment and reference. What a beautiful, traditional rendering that is. I really appreciate your comment since Kandinsky is one of my all time favorite painters. I saw a retrospective of his work at The Chicago Institute of Art some years back and was even more impressed by the work. It has wonderful scale and blissful technique, and the show took my breath away. I'll never forget it.
So, here's . . .
AFTER KANDINSKY  Thank you for the comment, as well, about my 'digital technique being a winque approach. Music to my ears.

Awesome!  Nice to find folks who appreciate some of the abstract masters here.  Paul Klee is also one of my favorites.

Mine too. Beautiful, brilliant language our Paul has. We're simpatico. On another tangent, how about the master De Chirico?

Yes!  I named "The Enigma of the Swingset" after his work! 

My most recent find from this era is a lesser known Lithuanian artist named Ciurlionis.  Check out some of his paintings:

BEAUTIFUL WORK! I love the subtlety and classic palette.  Here's an obscure surrealist artist from the 60's I adore, JORGEN BOBERG . . . check him out!

I love this, by the way, exchanging, talking about art. I've found it difficult to find others here with a 'traditional' art education, so I say HOORAY, MKSchmidt, you have a FAN!

Yep, there definitely seems to be an illustration bias over here ... not that illustration isn't a perfectly acceptable form of expression (I do some illustration myself)... but I'd like to see more abstract stuff from time to time. 

Jorgen has an amazing sense of detail, which I am drawn to in general, but I'm not big on the nude figures, call me old fashioned   Looks like he may have influenced (or was influenced by) H.R. Geiger, perhaps, though his etchings remind me in some ways of another favorite - M.C. Escher.

There are only two real Liver Birds, they live on top of the Liver Building down at the waterfront. www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl… The Liver Building.  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_bi… The Liver Bird.
