ECSTATICS BY LAURA LEONARD


This is a submission from newby Laura Leonard (aka Laura Drever - www.lauradrever.com). She is from the small island of Orkney in the north of Scotland, which inspires her to produce amazing pieces of abstract art. Keep a look out for her next piece!
These 3 drawings are a small selection from a collection of 16 that formed a peedie (Orcadian for small) booklet called "Ecstatics-a language of birds".  
From walking in the Orkney landscape, observing birds in flight while focusing on the lines and patterns the birds created in the sky, studies of various birds were made.  All of the drawings were created when the sky was lovely and blue, the sun was shinning (which is not very often in Orkney!!), and the birds were singing.
