Description
"An easy grin, an easy smile. Sometimes the hardest thing to give, but worth it all the while."It has been hard for me to smile at times, this year has been especially difficult for numerous reasons. I look for inspiration in nature and life so that I can forget, if just for a second, about my issues or to live in the moment as Cesar Milan says, I can relax and learn to smile again.
This piece was inspired by [link] lovely stock posted by the wonderful ~dtf-stock Thank you hun for providing such an inspiration!
It was done mainly in oil pastel, but I used color pencils to get the fine details and to do the eyes and collar. Watercolor background as usual, one of my blue watercolor tubes as been drying up so I have been trying to use it up as much as possible.
