seagulls and patterns

Here's a little something I've been playing around with...I really liked the way I drew the sea in the seagull image...so i'm playing around with that pattern..In the two pattern images i've used colour combination that I've been drawn to recently..the colours in the black pattern image were inspired by a head scarf I saw on an elderly lady on the bus the other day! At times like that I wish I could photograph the person so that I remember every detail...but then I guess the bits that you forget are also important; as you then remake the image up in your own mind...creating something new...
