"What I'm Fooling with Today" - painting and drawing trials, experiments, etc

 Keeping the woman, changing the man - I think I'll really like it when I'm finished and will post it on here.  A total experiment.  The ink drawings behind the little painting are from a life drawing group.  I think maybe next to life drawings, I like to draw people at restaurants and BARS - always so delicious because bars are where people let their hair down.  I love to position myself - armed with pencil and paper - near the bar.  Folks are just friendlier and more engaged at the bar and I love to watch the goings on!

This painting, except possibly for the woman in blue, will be totally different. And also larger, and maybe done in oil pastel.  Working in oil pastel is where I actually live. 😊

Thanks for stopping by!

Another Bar - original oil pastel figurative painting

Here's something that I posted on The Oil Pastel Review, which is my oil pastel only blog, a few posts back and now I think it's finished - more or less. Nothing is ever finished, really, but things do sometimes come close. It's on 16 x 20" Pastelbord and is one in my ongoing series of bar scenes.

By the way, do check out the nude sketch I did on OPR using Sennelier Nature oil pastels.

Thanks so much for stopping by Hackberry Street Studio - it's always great seeing you here!
