Feather Earrings - original oil pastel portrait

 

                                   One of my drawings was accepted for exhibition in the

                                Catharine Lorillard Wolfe online show that can be viewed

                                                        during the month of October.

 I was trying to work with neutrals here to give the red feather earrings more 'pop'.  This piece is painted on 7 x 5" Pastelbord.  The great thing about Pastelbord - when working with oil pastels - is that with time, the oil pastels on this support tend to feel dry to touch.  Still, I like to spray with oil pastel fixative several days after the piece is completed.  Thanks for stopping by!
