“Spontaneity is the quality of being able to do something just because you feel like it at the moment, of trusting your instincts, of taking yourself by surprise and snatching from the clutches of your well-organized routine a bit of unscheduled pleasure.” – Richard Iannelli

A wonderful assortment (345 categories) of art quotes can be read over at the Painter’s Keys website.

Just having fun playing with variants from the same colour pallette. I have yet to journey into the world of 3D, but in No25a I was trying to achieve lighting on the golden circles that gave a 3D’ish look.

Here is a final one using this colour pallette, it’s a variant to No9 – it turned out to be mostly squarish type shapes, so I added the circle tree top in keeping with the series )

Just thinking . . . as an artist, how do you know when a work is done? What tells you to stop? . . . to put down the brush, pen, mouse or your creative tool(s) of choice, and sign off? I wonder huh?

“Cercle et Carré (Circle and Square).
A discussion and exhibition society for abstract artists formed in Paris in 1929 by the critic Michel Seuphor and the painter Joaquín Torres-García. They published a journal of the same name, of which three numbers appeared in 1929–30. The association held only one exhibition, at Galerie 23 in April 1930, but this has the distinction of being the first group exhibition ever devoted solely to abstract art; 46 artists showed work, including Mondrian and Vantongerloo but also such non-geometricians as Kandinsky and Schwitters. In 1931 Cercle et Carré was superseded by the larger and longer-lived Abstraction-Création association, but it had a sequel in Uruguay: in 1935 Torres-Garcia formed an Asociación de Arte Constructivo in Montevideo and edited a journal Círculo y Cuadrado, of which seven numbers appeared between 1936 and 1938.”
