The Dog.

This a copy of Picasso's minimalist drawing The Dog. He had a favourite dachshund called Lump and put it in many of his pictures.

What is interesting here is that it's done in one continious curving line, all of it. And this is how I've done it too.

The Thaw.

"The Thaw" is a period in Russian Art of the Soviet Period around 1956-1966 when experimentation was allowed again and new ideas, that avant-garde movements of the early 20 Century had developed, returned to the foreground.

This photo is a tribute to those artists.
