        Great photos for the weekend! I looked at the Georgia O’Keeffe images and decided to try my hand at interpreting her style. Not sure how close I came. Strathmore 5.5 x 8.5″ sketchbook. I used crayola pencils for the garden, and then decided to use Prismacolor for the goose. Makes no difference — I stink w/ CP. lol! I spent a little more than an hour on each of them, and I like the look enough that I think I might try it in acrylics.

            nice work! CP’s are not my thing either but you’ve done great! i especially like the goose. i can definitely see Georgia O’Keeffe in there.

                            I think you really did channel O’Keeffe here; I see it most in the garden scene. But both are wonderful! Great idea to move them into acrylic, that should work really well.

                                Great abstractions in both of them! I also really like the effect of the coloured pencils for the Japanese garden. Makes it look Japanese style!

                                    Really nice drawings both! I’d like to see these if you decide to do them in acrylics!

                                        Lovely sketches, great movement with the flapping wings of the goose.
