Pick me up
I started this oil pastel painting more than a year ago. I did the faces and then got frustrated and put it away.
I was looking through my paintings today and came across this unfinished painting. I looked at it and thought, "this is almost done!"
So I loosely put in the rest of the painting keeping everything soft so the focus stays on the faces.
It is amazing how looking at something with a fresh eye can help overcome what had been an obstacle.
Pick me up, oil pastel on paper, 9x12"

I have a painting I need to finish, too, which I started way back in Oct/Nov 2004! Hope the fresh eye works for me too ...
