Good morning and today another still life image, this one being totally different.

The medium is oil pastel and the technique is rather simple. Use a heavy weight paper or the work will fall apart during the process.  Keep the pastels warm so that they almost melt in your hand (the warmer/softer the better), smear them onto the paper richly and thickly, constantly adding pure white onto the paper, and mixing them together with your fingers. Then comes the messy fun bit; push the colours around with your fingers until the desired effect is reached. Great fun, very messy and I think worthwhile. But I will let you be the judge of that.

My next entry will be yet another way of looking at still life, but that will be next week.
