Vacationing with Oil Pastel

A La Playa 2024. Oil pastel on paper, 9 x 12"

Took a drive to South Carolina to visit my sister in early November. She just purchased a little McMansion near the ocean, so I had to think of a non-obtrusive medium to use in her garage that she keeps polished like a bourgeois balustrade. Oil pastels and a 9 x 12" pad of paper. The family would come looking for me under the leaf blower, legs crossed on the floor, drawing on a beach cooler. Here are a few that I like, finished by a photo taken by Rose with her birthday present:)
