01 Feb Inspiration: Paul Klee

I’m so inspired by the German artist Paul Klee at the moment. His childlike paintings with warm colors, wonderful shapes and interesting composition makes me think of the drawings we all made when we were children. Careless and full of imagination. If you’re as intrigued by his work as I am you can read more about him here. Add here are some of my favorite paintings…

    Ooh, I adore his work. One of my very favorite things about attending art school is learning about and being introduced to artists I wouldn’t have discovered otherwise. So glad you posted about Paul Klee!
