Bedtime Braid - original oil pastel portrait


 This 12 x 9" oil pastel was done on Strathmore black mixed media paper, which is great for oil pastel.  I liked the casual - kind of messy - way she wove the ribbons into her hair.  This started with a live pose, but like so many, ended up with a photo.  Oh well, one does what one can😕 Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Jane - you are so lucky to have hair long enough to braid. I think braided hair is beautiful!
