First Impressions - Oil Pastel Art

These are my first impressions - I create a set of preliminary works in Oil Pastel and acrylic on paper before I translate these into Oil Paintings. The amount of times I heard clients say "these are sketches?!" Made me realise these are works of art in their own right. In some ways they are more potent, true and honest than my Oil Paintings. They capture that first moment of original inspiration - the first "hit". I love them, and I love creating them. I hope you can find a good home for one of them!
