Playing with pastels. This is a commission piece for a younger girl who asked for pastel pink, purple, and teal. Swipe for beautiful shaded and sunlit views. I'm undecided on the orientation of this one because it could go almost any direction! This is the first time I've worked with pastels and also the first painting I have kept clean on the back... This painting got me thinking about remaining soft in a tough world. It's easy to put up tall walls and harden in this hard world, after a hard life, a hard day. But I encourage you to remain soft at heart. There is a certain type of strength that comes with being tender as you were when you were younger. Take pride in remaining soft in a hard world, practice compassion every day.... And look after each other my friends πππ
