oil pastel!? what you talkin' about connie chadwell. . .

Connie Chadwell
Sad Songs
This painting by Connie Chadwell is sooooooo cute! How in the world can you paint such a wonderful painting using oil pastels? They are as much a mystery to me as watercolor. (P. Montano has helped me to appreciate watercolors . . . I wonder if she knows anything about this oil pastel business?) Anyway, this painting is entitled 'Sad Songs'. Connie's delicate use of many color notes throughout the painting is both cheerful and inspiring. I too would like to paint a picture that is soooooooooo cute - but in oil. I think I can . . .and I will . . .just you wait and see . . .
