Oil Pastels on paper

I did not have too much time today to do some daily art today. When I went shopping, I saw this pepper and thought it would be a fun subject - something that I love (especially in guacamole form) I have painted peppers in the past, so it was a "safer subject."

The nose knows - Amy

Now the nose! I love the idea of making the paper seem dimensional. This is a self portrait. I used soft charcoal and was happy to find some of my art supplies in my Powerpuff Girls Lunchbox.

Button - Amy

The Button - Amy - 11x14 oil pastels

I have a slight obsession with buttons. I love their simple design and subtlety.
