Very nice Gillian. I've found a bit of time this evening to do a bit of a sketch on an idea I had that I wanted to try in a type of Kandinsky style. I obviously don't want to copy kandinsky and want to use my own ideas.  The sketchbook page wasn't big enough to jot the idea down on but I've jotted a bit of it down. It's Big Ben with a high wire acrobat cycling to the moon amongst the space debris, with the Thames. I know it looks nothing like that but it's not meant to. It was the idea in my head for putting the shapes down and pre-thinking colour. I'll do a refined bigger sketch tomorrow then paint it.

Golly gosh Denise this is going to be one heck of a challenge! I did see on the Kandinsky thread your idea. Bit lost on me as not my kind of thing, however I am interested to see where it takes you!! Good luck!

That look like it’s going to keep you busy Denise. I have been very lax of late and haven’t done much sketching , I have been put to shame by Gillan who sketch despite the heat etc . A ten minute sketch and I should really make the effort to do more .

What a thoughtful sketch, evokes a really lovely feeling! Made me think about my much loved Grandad George Henry who died early eighties. It’s sooo hot here today 36 degrees, apparently could be even hotter during the week!

Nice work Paul. Gillian, I had a granddad, George Henry, my dad was a George Henry also, great name I say. Well I did my drawing on watercolour paper, A2 size. I've done a line drawing and I've started making some of the lines heavy. I'll probably add a bit more before I paint it tomorrow. I've put some wavy lines in to represent the tidal wave, that would come up the Thames if the SS Montgomery exploded. I watched a documentary the other day about it. I've put the acrobat tumbling down from the shock wave and a boat upside down as the waters start to rise. Shapes to represent communications connecting and breaking. Big Ben because a lot can happen within a second of time everything can be ended, yet, time is endless. I'm no abstract artist, they take a lot of figuring out.  They are many reasons the acrobat is in it.
