A Little Bit of Whimsey

Inspired by Giselle's shirt the other day, I decided to do a few covers with colorful flowers.

My first interpretation with a new medium, oil sticks, yielded  the above. And remembering that every piece of art has its ugly stage, I moved on, creating a couple of graphic floral covers and coordinating striped backs.

The oil sticks go on creamy and blend beautifully with fingers. The colors were rich and bright. I was in hog heaven!

I'm thinking this will be my new favorite medium, but who knows? Later this week I'll be working with glazes and molding paste. I do tend to be fickle and love whichever medium I'm with...
