Bird statues

from w
In the Geelong Botanical Gardens there are several statues of cranes and some kind of tortoises that came from Japan many years ago. I made a sketch on paper of them a while back, and here are some variations. If I drew this scene again I wouldn't make the tree in the middle so prominent as it seems to cut the page into two and lead the eye outside the picture. Artists always need to re-arrange the shapes rather than draw it like it is eh!
