Here's my entry for this week's challenge at
Inspiration Avenue- the theme was "tea" and I thought it was a perfect oppurtunity to experiment with the oil pastels I just got for my art class supplies. I had been letting my students use my Caran D'ache pastels which worked great for a small group to use in my dining room- but this party that I'm teaching tomorrow has 10 young ladies coming, and there was no way I could stretch my own stock that far!
Anyway; I bought some sets of Sennelier oil pastels (at about half the price of my others) and wanted to see if they were as good as advertised, and they ARE! I love the way they layer- you can build color on top of color using either your finger or the actual pastels to blend them-I LOVE these pastels!
So here's my entry for this week's challenge:
I've been wanting to do a portrait of our kitten, Mojo, so I incorporated her into the challenge.....
And there you go! Be sure to stop by
IA to see what everyone else came up with- as always, there is sure to be a beautifully diverse collection of art!
Happy Sunday!

Love this ...
Mojo is darling! She is waiting for the tea to be poured. She looks like she is saying, 'What! No fish-flavored tea?'
I love this, Steph!
Thanks for the info on the oil pastels also. I don't have any right now, and have been thinking of getting some :)
I think she is waiting for some milk in her tea cup... This painting is adorable.
I love using oil pastels. Will check for Sennelier next time I need some. The colors are bright. Also love your kitty and Fiesta ware.
so beautifully done, charming piece!
Too cute for words!!!
Great use of oil pastel Steph - I love them, the colours they give are so rich and vivid. And Mojo has the most sweet and innocent face!
Your love for your new pastels shines through! Great painting!
Not sure what I like more about this post: the tea cups, Mojo, or the tip on oil pastels. Right now, Bleubeard thinks Mojo gets the tea time honors.
This is ADORABLE!!! I love the colors too!
Oh so cute! I like the composition on this one and the colors as well. So bright and cheery.
AHHHHH-DOREABLE :) The Mojo works & sets the tone for this fun artwork, too sweet, no sugar needed with this cuppa ;)
lovely kitty, and lovely colours! i love oil pastels :)
Totally adorable!! I'd never have guessed pastels - definitely thought this wonderful piece was painted. Beautiful!!
Aside from your obvious beautiful painting, your little Mojo is the perfect subject... Got Milk?
