Rockabilly Gal - original oil pastel figurative by Connie Chadwell

This 12 x 9" oil pastel on Pastelbord depicts one of the performers in a show billed as 'rockabilly'.  I LOVE this term, 'rockabilly', and have been doing a little research on it the past couple of weeks.  The definitions are as fluid as pomade (that hair stuff for men in the '50's).  I just had to throw that in - it seemed to fit the times.   The definitions are really much more fluid than that.  Years ago, I sold an oil pastel that I called 'Rock and Roller', but I realize now that he was actually a rockabilly guitarist.  His clothes, his guitar and his hair all point in that direction.
I have a rockabilly band drawn on Pastelbord and will get that done, soon.  Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
