Snow is falling here on this first day of 2025. Happy New Year! I hope your year is filled with creativity and wonder! I painted this sweet little bunny in oil pastels. I started with a colored pencil underpainting on Strathmore toned paper. The first picture shows some of the underpainting, and the second picture show the finished bunny. You can see how much oil pastels can add in creaminess and texture! Create in 2025 for a stronger, well-exercised mind and good health! ... View the Post
Oil Pastel Mixed Media Owl Painting & VIDEO
This creature is a bit quirky and fun! Check out the VIDEO below to see the painting process. I started out thinking I would paint in one medium, then ended up with oil pastels.

Oil Pastel Penguin Painting
We just returned from spending a week in Miami, where the temperatures were in the upper 70s. Now, it is 27 degrees as I write this. Yikes! I thought this winter penguin would be appropriate. :) I love his matching sweater and hat. Even the penguins would be cold in my state! :) I used colored pencils for the underpainting and my oil pastels on top for creamy texture. I love using Strathmore's toned tan paper with oil pastels! It doesn't seep through, and the colored paper sets off the ... View the Post
