Bird Drawings

I'm swamped with work this week, but I just wanted to stop by to say hello and share these beautiful bird drawings by Julie Mattei. I love the hint of pink and interesting mix of abstract shapes. Seeing these makes me want to get out the sketchbook and watercolors. But, I have to get back to work...blah! How are you surviving the week?

    Those are just gorgeous. Love the geometric elements and stark palette.

    Wonderful. Really like the simple color pallet and the art deco feel of the illustrations.

    These are wonderful. I love the contrast of the clean lines of the black with the wash of the pink.

    Oh, these are fantastic! Looks like the artist knows exactly what she's doing (it's difficult to make abstractions if you can't do the figurative stuff). Perfect balance and a colour to make anybody happy!

    these are very interesting, I love how parts are 'suggested' that your eyes fill in themselves

    These are great. I love the hint of art deco geometric shapes. Patterning in illusrations are a good look.
