        Christel, the photos are wonderful – so colorful!
        Not sure that I’ll be able to do a painting for this month’s challenge (need to do a bigger painting soon), but I might come up with something… :)

        I love oil pastels and have created a blog about this medium. While the blog posts are in Russian, still I invite you to get inspired with various artists' beautiful OP paintings in my blog's gallery: https://oilpastelist.wordpress.com/gallery

                    What a nice selection! I see one or two that may be uncomplicated enough not to scare me away :) Good Stuff, Christel! Thanks!

                        These pictures are wonderful. I have not put anything on for a while but am anxious to try one. I mainly use oil sticks which is close. I hope I am still allowed. Eleanore

                            I am thinking I picked the wrong month to get started again. A great range of images, colours and contrasts all appeal, will have to ponder a lot longer before I start.

                            Jenie – maybe do more than one?

                            Both A4. I cropped the young lady as she has such a lovely face. The Indian elephant is an important attraction for tourists

                                Christel, both are great, but the girl is especially lovely! The expression on her face, the skin tones, the bright colors aroud – I love it!

                                    Christel, I have a lot of affection for VDubs, so am working on the ‘lady and the suitcase’ already. And, the others are calling! I’m hoping to a least plan a couple more.

                                        An edited version, :angel: , of our first try at setting up a fox wing shelter on the current VW. Haven’t been travelling for almost a year. Two more months and I’m ‘on the road again’.
