"Beauty In Design" - 34

I haven't used oil pastel in a while:

(Oil pastel on 110-lb paper)

The last (and first time) I used oil pastel was maybe two to three years ago. I liked the medium, but the inconsistent clumps and challenge of detail frustrated me. Using them again, they still frustrate me a little, but...I'm going to force myself to experiment more This particular piece was inspired by a random doodle of circles, when I realized it recognized a hand in the shapes. A few minutes later, I was drawing a hand out with oil pastel. Not too shabby, I think, considering I've rarely drawn or painted realism before.
