Klimtified Birdbath

10.25x9 watercolor pencils on sketchbook paper done awhile back but not completed yet.  Using an ordinary birdbath as a diagonal theme, I perched a black bird on it and surrounded with larger than life flowering weeds to repeat the birdbath design.  In the abstract areas I used turquoise blue and green for cool accents, while purple and pink are seen as shadows in the flowerheads.  This is in the style of Gustav Klimt.
