Woman in grey

Oil pastel on hardboard 8" x 8"
This is a re-work of an older piece which actually started life as a self portrait. If I could shed x amount of years it might look a smidgin bit like me so anyway, it stopped being me and became someone else. I'm ok about that. I have started work on a series (I hope) of figurative acrylics emerging out of memory and imagination. I have tried something like this before but never been totally happy with it. This time I'm planning a bit of a new slant. Hope to post something soon.

This has a powerful simplicity and presence Sheila. I like it very much. The oil pastels give lovely surface texture don't they?
Thanks Theresa, yes, they do give interesting textures. Here it was a wood panel and they quickly sought out the grain of the wood which I think was a bonus.
