Realistic and Abstract Sketches

I spent a long time on realistically drawing this flower that resembles Gothic architecture because of all the small details and repetitive characteristics. I wanted this sketch to make people imagine how the flower looks without having to see it, which I believe I accomplished and really enjoyed doing so. I chose this flower to represent Gothic architecture because of the way it draws your eyes upwards which most of Gothic artwork seemed to do. I also depict this flower from all of its angles to create smaller abstract representations of it.There are some images in my abstract sketches that I could have been able to make more unrecognizable and would have like to done better. The hardest part of these sketches were getting out of my comfort zone and having these items look more abstract.
