First things first, it is important for me to say that I never really figured out/got the hang of oil pastels. And every once in a great while I pull them out again just to see if I can make them do what I want. That said, this isn't really what I had in mind, but I decided that I liked it anyway. This is probably the most successful attempt I have ever made with oil pastels. (And it only required some very mild photo editing to disguise the fact that I still haven't figured out how to keep the page clean with these suckers. That and I forgot to sign it before photographing, oops.) If any other blatant errors are seen, I will chalk it up to the fact that this was done between 4-7am.
