Oil Pastels

For this month, I decided to post some oil pastels that were originally created for a cafe in Victoria, BC. They were copied and used for signage, stationary and the logo. When I discovered them once again, I thought they would be ideal for an upcoming showing of my art at Centre Stage in New Minas, NS, in October of this year. I am very excited about this opportunity.

 

I used an artist’s wooden panels, 12″ x 12″ for the larger pieces and 8″ x 8″ for the smaller pieces for the frame. Each panel has a 3mm quality poplar wood board and a solid pine wood frame. I used acrylic paint on the background to match the oil pastels and moulding on the four larger pieces. Select each picture to enlarge it. 

See you next month.

Mother & Daughter

I have been working on a few art pieces for an exhibition at an amateur theatre this fall. I am using a multitude of mediums, including acrylic and watercolour paint, oil pastels, polymer & air dry clays, different-sized canvases, and watercolour paper. A few of the pieces involve using different types of clay and acrylic paint on canvas, all surrounded by a wood three-dimensional frame.

For this particular project, I used only two colours, blue and white. It is called Mother and Daughter. They are seated having their special tea time.

I used polymer clay for the figures, an 8″ x 8″ canvas, acrylic paint, 2 3/4″ x 3/4″ wood for the frame and 1 1/4″ wide moulding for the front to finish it off.
