Clara's Hat - original oil pastel portrait

oil pastel, loose, portrait, design, Connie Chadwell


I used a rather casual approach to this little piece which always seems to be my best option. Loose and inexact makes me so happy - not just in what I do but in most all artwork.  Her pose was perfect as a design, I thought, so I kept her over on the side.   My tools were Sennelier oil pastels on 7 x 5" Ampersand Pastelbord.  Much fun.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Girl with Chair - original oil figurative painting


In this study, I was searching for a pose for the child to take and she just slung her arm over the back of the chair. Maybe I'll use this for the larger painting that I will be doing. Most of the time, I find that children - and adults, too - will take a pose that's natural for them and is perfect for their portrait. This one is 7 x 5" on panel. Thanks for stopping by! SOLD
