Le Cubisme

Un petit nuage (click to enlarge)

Current assignment is to paint in the Cubist style. K, I'm on it.  At first I began this as a mockery of Picassoesque synthetic cubism, circa 1924 (with brighter modern pigments).  However, the more I worked on it, the more taken I was with the wanton pictorial rule-breaking, surreal, and abstract color possibilities of the style.  So now I'm wondering whether any of this kind of 'magic' outlook can be incorporated  in more contemporary 'dry' realism.
