Hope you have a good winter! I have just finished one oil pastel:
It will go to an auction, and I will stay only with pictures and memories... It's a painting of a place where I was born (a town in a distance)... I will probably never return there... That's life.... :'( :coffee:

That's the church where I got married. ::) Heaven knows if I ever return there... :'( Looking forward to spring and art! :painting:

The first scene is so tranquil, and the church with churchyard is lovely.
:smitten: your pastel work.

Winter in New York is a special time... But now I'm painting a doggy (dachshund), a lot of hair and fun ;D About one third done... :painting:

Charle, I know what you mean. :tickedoff: :sweat: I also have little time, which means that I can work one hour or less (sometimes only five minutes) each day. The secret is to keep going EACH day. ;) Another technique is to choose objects that are really captivating to you and they will pull you no matter what. :yippee: Could be your kids, animals, plants, architecture, religious motives, whatever you love. :gl2:

The dachshund of my friends, commissioned work. They will see it tomorrow, hope they will like it. Technical note: oil pastels on wood. When picture taken, light was from above, so the top corners are lighter than actual painting.
:thankyou: for all positive feedback above :thankyou:
... and I'm going to start new project :sweat: white canvas in front of me... :painting:
Always a pleasure to share with PaintBasket :hug:

Oil pastel art is not something I've seen often before, so I'm doubly impressed. I have a set of Caren D'arch oil pastels that I look at every now and then but haven't a clue.

Another work in oil pastels:
At the base the orange hue is just a reflection from a table. It's oil pastel on wood.
All the best to all fellow artists!
