Out at Shake Rag Alley on one of my art adventures there, Christina Kubasta, the Executive Director, brought an old mirror frame to the workshop. Her cat had knocked it over for the last time as the mirror was now broken. Did I want the frame?
I originally had this idea to incorporate the found objects you see above but somehow I lost the violin. Yes, I lost a violin.
What I did end up doing is covering the wood with pattern paper and then painting in the areas suggested by the shapes on the pattern paper. As I was painting, it occurred to me that this was beginning to look like a Kandinsky.
Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter and art theorist who lived and practiced in Germany. He mixes music theory and art production in such a fashion that when I tried to read his book I found myself confused by everything in it included "and" and "the" (thank you, Dorothy Parker).
Wassily Kandinsky
This is as far as this got at Shake Rag Alley
Once home I continued to paint on it
In March of 2026, it was time for another Make What Ya Brung at Shake Rag Alley so I decided it was time to finish this piece.
Thus we have, Kan Kandinsky Kan Kan? It is 40"H X 21" X 2". It consists of a Mirror Frame, Paper and Paint.
