Floating Flower

Here is my second oil pastel.  It's a little bigger than the first one.  I like the first one better because it has a better sense of light and shadow.  The support I used for this was a blue archival mat board.  You can see bits of the blue peaking through in the leaves.  The color of the ground made it very hard to get the white to not look muddy.

I've decided I need a larger collection of colors.  What I have is very limited and there are no neutrals.  I know I should be able to mix them but I don't seem to have that ability yet.

I had fun playing with the textures on this one.  I did a scribbly sort of figure 8 pattern on a lot of it.
