art on a board

yes, this is painted on a piece of "lumber"....a leftover piece from some work our daughter was doing at their home....i raided the scrap pile.....it is 5 1/2 x 16 inches tall....it was inspired by a picture i saw in a asheville, nc "about town" magazine.....i used acrylics and prismacolor nupastels on it.......i do love using the nupastels...... i just love using my fingers to blend them......i have a load of pan pastels but cannot get used to using the "wand"....

doodle wip

while my husband was in the hospital having back surgery i was doing this...a doodle that took forever to get to this point.....but it kept me occupied.....the husband is doing great...me, i am exhausted from being away from home for 4 days and staying in a motel......hospital is 3hrs away from home .....and then there was the trip home in the car......i won't even go there..........
