Thanks Teri Artsy @TLP  
You’re so kind leaving me encouraging comments  
My client was very pleased with the result  
I didn’t tell them I’d never used oil pastel since 1986 lol  
Looking forward to seeing more of your wonderful artwork  
Keep posting 😊  
My next challenge is to do the oil pastels course
