I started an Oil Pastel group on the Paint My Photo web site.  This site is dedicated to the sharing of photos between photographers and artists for use by artists to use as reference photos in the creation of their art.  It's a free site open to artists and photographers.

This painting is loosely based on one of the reference photos.  The lady in red with the lantern is from the photo, all the rest is my imagination.\

It's an oil pastel, 11 by 14 inches on canvas panel.

My latest painting:  An oil pastel, 12 by 24 inches on canvas panel.
Artists use manikins to aid with figure drawing.  I decided to just paint the manikin.  I use this painting at the entrance to my art display at art fairs.  He is my official greeter.  He's "Howdy the Manikin."
