Are you feeling inside the circle, or do you hang outside the circle?

Blue Monday, circles, by artist

Circles, awe, what can I say about circles?

Circles are everywhere, mostly circles are about cycles. No ending, no beginning......

But not when you paint them. There is a beginning, and hopefully the ending,  if your lucky will match up with the beginning again.

Are you feeling inside the circle, or do you hang outside the circle?

My circle, your circle, inside the circle of trust, circle of friends....it goes on, on, and on....

Beware of running around inside the circle's, because a circle once inside can trap you in and hold you there.

I have painted a lot of circles. When I went through a period of mandala paintings. All the mandala paintings are circles.

Circles will make you crazy, but Mondays will make you manic.

The Harmany of art and spirit

WASSILY KANDINSKY (1866-1944)

"All methods are sacred if they are internally necessary. All methods are sins if they are not justified by internal necessity." Wassily Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky is known as one of the founding fathers of abstract art, by distorting realities of the physical world, more of what he was trying to create was  a spiritual encounter by way of the colors and shapes he employed in his art.

He is a Russian artist only after he attended the University of Moscow where is studied law and economics and eventually taught.

In 1911, he co founded a Munich artists circle, Der Blaue Reiter, or The Blue Riders, whose members shared an idea that art could share i a interconnectedness of art and spirituality.

Kandinsky's name has been associated with "Improvisations," "Impressions," and Compositions." art styles.

Notable works" Composition V, 1911; Painting with Green Center,  1913; Yellow, Red, Blue, 1925.

Here are some of his images,

I have been influenced greatly by Kandinsky's work. Many of my Kaleidoscope paintings come from his artist blending of art and spirit.
