Lisa Playing the Flute - original oil pastel portrait painting

More blues and greens - always looking for an excuse to use these colors. Plus the touches of reds and orange.  Alex Powers says - and I believe him - but then I believe Alex Powers in all art matters - that one is drawn to either cool colors or warm colors.  If a painting is all warm colors, I feel like I'm in the middle of July - okay, being dramatic, but still.  This painting is on 5 x 7"  Pastelbord.  Thanks for looking!

I like this painting. I am one one of those people drawn to warm color. The colors, the blues and greens are warmed by the oranges, yellows and pinks that run through them. So that works for me. And I like the composition. The V of the collar, the Vs of the arms, the V of the hair.. Those reoccurring shapes tie it all together for me.
