Here are a couple entries for Theatre Art Galleries' Fall invitational show, "The Bicycle:  Art Meets Form."  It will be in September.  I'm looking forward to seeing all the beautiful work.   I can't stop thinking about Kandinsky lately, so that's why I ended up transforming some Kandinsky-like circles into artsy bike gears.  I also diverted from my favorite color pallete (Mondrian's) to insert some green.
