Thirty in Thirty Day 23 Open Sky

Another cutout from a previous collage on cardboard.  Wanted to work on the sky a bit more with my crayons but they disturbed the thin layer of newsprint.  I may tweak with oil and cold wax at a later date.

Thirty in Thirty Day 22 Creeping Creatures

What a crazy day yesterday. By the time I wanted to photograph some ready paintings it was too dark. I like to schedule the day before.

This is another painting or rather sketch on a cutout from a previous collage.  I used my favorite Caren d'Ache neocolor I wax oil crayons.  The are harder than regular oil pastels and I love them.  Seems that all sorts of creatures are creeping in my works. Where did they come from?

Thirty in Thirty Day 21 Orange Leaves

Can't believe that we are in the final stretch.  It has just flown by.

Just two simple leaves from a branch... Tried to mimic the bokeh photography effect.
