Copy a Painting

The assignment to create a copy of a Kandinsky painting in photoshop sounded intimidating, especially since his work tends to consist of complex shapes. As I got into it, I found it tedious, yet challenging and captivating. I decided early on not to spend the next month trying to make a completely faithful reproduction, so I settled on something that was "in the spirit" of Kandinsky's work. After just over an hour, I decided I had something that was easily identifiable as a derivitive of his work. Actually I was quite pleased with it and surprised I was able to see it through to that point.
