What happens on a cold winter night when an artist of the visual and the written gets an urge to set up her easel. Well in this case, first come the pastels....
Then comes the oil... Still looking kinda scratchy at this stage, with a lot of blending to do, details to add, and well knowing me, probably a colour change or two too.
This is a couple of days later, after some blending and colour changes. Oh and you can see I've added a lot more detail in there now too.
