PPF: Inspired by Gaudi

Last week I shared some of my sketches from Barcelona and some watercolor hearts I made inspired by the colors and shapes of Antoni Gaudi.  This week, I finished this heart which also reflects Gaudi's shapes - so much of his work looks like dripping wax.  I also made this stylized bird in Gaudi's style:

The mask reflects the masks which appear on one of Gaudi's apartment buildings.  I enjoyed playing around with Gaudi's style so much that I tried to channel it in an art journal page and came up with this:

It incorporates textures which I think are reminiscent of Gaudi, as well as wonky architecture, feelings of community, melting colors and a nod to the nontraditional/challenging of conventions.  I'm quite pleased with it.
It's been fun to play in the style of a new artist. Have you tried that lately? Who would you channel if you could?
