First oil pastel

Yes, yes, it took longer than expected. One rule was already broken (oh, the horror!)

But it is finally here. The first oil pastel, inspired by a crystal and its pouch, given to me by a friend.

In case you are wondering, yes it was deliberate that I made the crystal in the painting much, much bigger than the original. It was not a mistake... Honest!

I found pastels 100 times easier to control than the dreaded water colour, and I think I will stick with this medium for a while.

Right now, I am waiting for inspiration for the next painting, and since I have visitors & plans through the month of June, till mid-July, the next painting will probably show up in August. Sorry :-(
