Diamond in the rough Painting

This painting is a part of my Scandinavian collection. One day I was very upset and I picked a canvas and oilpastels. I didn't think too much about it and I let my emotions drive me. Well this is the result. I love how simple the scandinavian lifestyle can be. It inspires a lot of my art and I would love to share that with you. Colorful paintings just catch my eyes and give me so much joy. I hope you can feel this painting as much as I did ABOUT THIS ARTWORK: CLASSIFICATION, TECHNIQUES & STYLES Painting Pastel Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts.
