Oil Pastels

By | |

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.

About head birdbrain

Robin is an artist and a retired graphic designer living in Nova Scotia, Canada. Art has always been a major influence in her life, whether through photography, pottery, drawing, or painting. Although she thought about it for many years, she didn’t start writing until later in life. Her main influence regarding faeries was a book illustrated and written by Brian Froud and Alan Lee, although her drawings are of a completely different style. From then on, Robin began imagining her own faery world, which stayed in her imagination for many years until she finally sat down to draw and write it. When Robin began drawing characters and scenes, the full story had not yet shown itself to her. It wasn’t until most of the drawings were done that the story finally revealed itself, and she wrote the first draft of the first book, Famlaer – The Real Faeryland, which reads more like a descriptive work than a story, exploring Famlaer and its inhabitants. It provides a solid foundation for the following books: Famlaer 2 – A New Beginning in an Old Land and Famlaer 3 – A Different World, which are engaging fantasy/adventure stories for all ages.
