In this piece I am working with the play of warm and cool colors!  Working with both makes your work vibrate with brightness and light!  Give it a try!   I am so thankful Spring is here!

I have a dear friend who loves the wild Mustangs, and photographs them in their natural environment.  This is a piece I made especially for her.  I call it Mustang Sally!    BFF's are the Best!

Happy Fall Everyone in the Western Hemisphere

For all of you Smudgers this is an easy one to create.  Simply cut out a leaf pattern and place it in position like a clock.  One at 12, 3, 6 and 9 position. Then create another leaf pattern and go in between those positions and continue round and round.  Also if you notice I put a white border using the edge.  Give that one a try.  Happy Fall!

This is an image I created of Cathedral Gorge in southern Nevada while on a camping trip with friends.  As you can tell in the photo I also like rocks.  I am an avid Rock Hound as well!

For all of you knowledgable "Smudgers" you know it took only 2 templates to create this piece.  The stars can be used again and again for Christmas holiday imagery, the 4th of July and also for that Star person who is celebrating their Birthday.  The possibilities are truly endless!  Smudge on my friends!

This is a favorite Smudge piece of mine.  I created it early in my Smudging days.  I cropped an area from the sky and using it in the master head of my "Smudge Blog".   Besides my oil pastel works I also write articles for a local magazine about Art and Culture, create works in Calligraphy lettering, solicit guest speakers for the Latimer Art Club in Reno, NV, illustrate Adult Coloring eBooks, was involved with the Nevada Inventors Association for over 10 years, received several grants and awards, plus share how to Make Art Your Business and life on another site I manage.  If you wish to read more about me please visit my primary site: varyCarol.com.  I enjoy watching and experiencing where my love of creating art takes me.  There is more to come!  Thank you for your interest in Oil Pastel Smudge,  Sincerely!
