Mud Pies and Olive Oil


Mud Pie # 15
8 1/2 x 11
Pastel on Canson Paper

Would you believe I used roasted garlic flavored olive oil and turpenoid in this painting. I blended with shapes cut out of foam core board . I removed the outer layer of paper on both sides as shown below. These make great blenders, especially on skies.
