Last month's blog highlight was "Whoosh". I had such fun experimenting with the oil pastels - a new medium for me. The ability to smudge, smear and scrape the pigment into place took me back to my primary school crayon art. It also allowed me to complete this tree tunnel picture that I have been thinking about for a while now. This picture will be included in the "Artscapes" exhibit this month.
