Don't laugh, Cro - or do. My first thought was Marc Chagall. Then I googled and nearly fell off my chair despite ... Can't say more without spoiling it for your other readers.
Is it by Bobby Baxter aged 7, and his sister Lucy (3)? When Mummy saw what they had done on the bedroom wall she let out a screech of horror, "Just wait till your father sees what you have done Bobby!"
Until Tasker's clue above I had absolutely no idea that he was a painter. When I was a young man I'd admired him greatly as a trumpeter. I can't say the same about his painting but then his style is. not one I understand.
He was one of the greatest jazz trumpeters. I bought my first MD album (Porgy and Bess) when I was still at school. I think I still have it somewhere; but no record player!
The reason I thought I knew was because a couple of years ago I started to plan some blog posts about old vinyl I still have, and read up about MD. And the fact that when I looked, CRO's file is named MD.

Because I've known for several years how to find out the source of the image, I didn't hold back and therefore I won't reveal.
But did you find it a surprise?
Well, it looks like Kandinsky, but you say it's a surprise, so I'm guessing it's not.
I was going to suggest that some may think of Kandinsky, but decided not to mention any names at all. It's NOT by him.
I cheated as I had no idea.
This is a guess.
Adrian Mole age 13 3/4. Painted when he was four.

U
Looks like one of yours.
Naughty!
Close.
I do see what you mean.
Could almost have been, but I wouldn't admit to it.

A demented six year old with a new set of felt tip pens?
It was more likely to have been done by their father, but I'm afraid not. I know you know who is the real culprit.
The 'demented' bit is close, but he or she was much older.
I really don't know, but I do see a nice dog in the painting.
There's a lot going on in there, not all of which is translatable.
What is this? University Challenge? I never shout out the answers, but I sometimes get them in a silent way.
If you know the answer, then remain silent. If not I shall reveal all later.
Impressionist, mid-20th century, could be Picasso, but probably not. Now I will click here and there and see how close I am.
You may be surprised.
I didn't cheat and I have no idea.
I await the reveal and read the comments
"In A Silent Way"
Blind stag territory.
No clue. Not my taste in art.
I shall reveal all in the morning.
Good, I didn't want it to be easy.
Watch this space!
You're giving too many clues!!!
I think you should warn people that it is going to be an anti-climax.
Your response to Tasker made me go back and think. Ha.
King Charles
Yes Charles
Not a clue, but probably not Picasso.
I'm not sure about that. Shock, yes; but not disappointment.
Shhhh.
A King in his own right, but not Charles.
See above.
As I'm sure many of you know, it is by MILES DAVIS; superb trumpeter, mediocre painter, and terrible husband.
Not Picasso; you're right there!

I was, later than I thought, an artist in many media.
