I came across this video: http://petapixel.com/2014/06/30/stat...graphs-impact/ about creating more impact. Apart from the fact that it is over 2 hours long and I can only take her voice for a maximum of 15 - 20 minutes before I fall asleep (I hope she is not a member here...), apart from all of that, I have found it endlessly fascinating. I was quite taken by some of her abstracts of trees. I was trying one of her techniques here:

and here:

With a few more I won't bore you with here: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjZmUd2L
Before I say anything else, I KNOW that this will not be to the taste of many of the people here, but nevertheless I would be interested in feedback as to what you think is good, bad or just plain ugly!
Many thanks
Richard

That said, I think that it works better with those where the original is tantalisingly almost recognisable, so I prefer the lavender, the 'deader' laurel leaves and the 'hooked' roses over the hydrangea, green laurels, wisteria and 'straight' roses. Hope that makes some kind of sense.
