Green is such a beautiful color and I'm always looking for ways to include it in portraits, so it was wonderful that Leah strolled in wearing a green top. Generally I like to mix greens, but I had a dark green that worked well and I lightened it here and there with lighter values - not with greens, but warmer colors like peachy shades. I used mostly Holbein oil pastels on 7 x 5" Ampersand Pastelbord. I'm posting this while listening to the soundtrack from "Honeymoon in Vegas" - so great and a funny movie, too! Until recently, multi-tasking was considered a good thing, but lately I've been hearing that it's not such a great thing for one's brain. Gotta protect those cells, so stopping now to hear the rest of Vegas, then on to Johnny Rodriguez. Thanks for stopping by!

I worked with Ampersand Board on one of my paintings and loved it. This painting is beautifully painted, Connie. Beautiful expression on her... I love greens as well. In November I have to have a painting for an exhibit and we can only use three colors...white, black and green. It was very interesting to see what we can do...
Thank you so much, Hilda! I am really looking forward to your post with black, white and green - that will be so interesting and a challenge, I would think! You will do a beautiful job, I know!
