Tiny Lia - original oil pastel portrait painting (ATC)
I am on an ACEO/ATC kick at the moment and have been using Caran d'Ache Neopastels instead of my usual Senneliers. They are not as soft as the Senneliers and are easier to work with in such a small area without sharpening them. See my post on my oil pastel blog. I used a 3 1/2 x 2 1/2" piece of illustration board for this one - owing to my photography skills, it's a little warmer than in real life - will try tomorrow to get a photo in better light. Thanks for looking!

Small Sanguine Portrait - original watermedia portrait sketch
Here's a small sanguine Caran d'Ache Neocolor II drawing I did around Thanksgiving. I painted it on Yupo - I can't even explain why I love this surface so much. It just allows you to be expressive without fearing you'll break rules - brush this way, brush that way, take a pen and go hog wild. It doesn't really matter. Whatever happens, it's good - and fun, too. Neocolor II is the water-soluble version of Caran d'Ache's wax crayon - with the addition of a little water, it just blossoms. Very satisfying to use. This portrait is about 7 x 6". Got to get some sleep now, getting up early for exercise class early in the morning - have to get those Fitbit steps going! Thanks for stopping by!

Portrait Sketch of a Young Woman - original oil pastel portrait sketch
I just bought a pad of 9 x 12" Mi-Teintes pastel paper. I love the textured side and did this sketch on one of the sheets of off-white - there are several colors in the pad - with Sennelier oil pastels. Thanks for stopping by.

Jerri - original oil pastel portrait drawing
Jerri is such a good model and I have more drawings of her that may actually turn into paintings. I'm always saying that and nothing comes of it. And I don't think a drawing is made legitimate by becoming a painting - it's just that sometimes, things look good in oil paint. I am especially interested in doing paintings that are also drawings for a good portion of the piece. Too many times, I've covered up lines that I loved and then missed them. Am going to try not to do that again. Anyway, that's what I'm up to here at Hackberry Street Studio. Glad you stopped by - thanks for listening! Sold

Cinda's Necklace - original oil pastel portrait drawing
The necklace that the model, Cinda, was wearing interested me. I wanted to describe it, but not let it take over the drawing. So, I just left everything understated - 7 x 5" on Pastelbord. Thanks for stopping by!

On My Easel- Portrait of Cynthia - original oil pastel portrait painting
Here's what I was working on today - not really through with it, though. It's on 7 x 5" Pastelbord - will finish it sometime this week. Thanks for looking!
