Seasons Wheel Styling

I'm thinking about the style of the seasons wheel for the Apex project. I'd like it to have a textured, almost handmade feel. I've also been trying to steer myself away from depicting 'realistic' seasonal landscapes in favour of something that is (hopefully) more evocative and abstract. 
It being the 100th birthday of Disney artist Mary Blair, I've been looking at some of her illustration and can definately take something from them. The textures and simplified shapes will help the cutout, handmade look I'm hoping to achieve. I think that another Disney artist, Eyvind Earle, could also be a strong influence.


Here's an example of Mary Blair's work-

And a concept image of mine for the autumn section of the seasons wheel-
