Self-portrait No. 11 with oil pastels
Sorry, but now it’s getting a little bit childish.
Who doesn’t remember making the most beautiful scratch pictures with wax sticks as a child? First a colorful background, then another layer of black wax stick on top? Then you could scratch away to reveal wonderfully colorful pictures.
I accidentally used oil pastels with this technique here. Now I’ve learnt that there’s a big difference between wax sticks and oil pastels.

Mmm... it's not a Bob style tree, but it'll do. It's the best I can get with oil pastel. Can't really do wet on wet with them using a brush.

Hmm... is it possible to do Bob Ross with oil pastels? Let's see!
I can sorta do a sky and mountains. Not sure how to tackle trees yet. I'll think about it.

Every Doorway is an Invitation

Doorways have always symbolized something meaningful to me.
Oil pastel weathered wooden doorway surrounded by cascading flowers.Every doorway is an invitation—a threshold between what has been and what is possible. Some doors close; others open, and each offers us an opportunity to begin.
This mirrors the thresholds in our lives—endings, beginnings, transitions, uncertainty—the quiet, trembling moments when the familiar loosens its grip and the future has not yet taken shape.
These are the doorways where we hesitate and hover, our hearts caught between what we are asked to release and what we have not yet learned to welcome. Spaces where grief and hope mingle, and we discover, often clumsily, how to keep stepping forward into the unknown.
Miniature oil pastel painting of an old blue doorway surrounded by weathered stoneBut a doorway is an invitation, not a command. It doesn’t demand that we walk through. It simply offers the possibility.
And within possibility, there is magic.
Red doorway oil pastel inspired by a location in MaltaThe hope and wonder of the unexpected. The promise that something beautiful might exist just beyond what we can see.
Perhaps that is what draws me to doorways—the mystery of what lies beyond them, and the quiet reminder that we are never quite as finished as we think we are.
This is what I am trying to capture in these miniature oil pastels: possibility.
Teal-green wooden doorway with warm glowing light and pink flowers in oil pastel.These tiny doorways are portals to hope—little talismans, perhaps, or windows into possibility. Small reminders that even when we cannot see what lies beyond, there is always the possibility that something unexpected, something beautiful, is waiting on the other side.
Each one is an invitation.
A Meditation for the Threshold
This meditation was created as a premium meditation on Insight Timer. I’m sharing it here because of its exploration of intuition, universal consciousness, and the unknown, which feels so connected to what these little doorways represent: possibility, invitation, and the mystery of what lies beyond.

Better living through chemistry, finally got to sleep and immediately created an abstract upon waking up. Water soluble oil pastels, pen and pencil. #art #artist #oilpastel #abstractart #abstract
I got out my water soluble oil pastels today. This also has black Tombow ink, and a few pen and pencil marks. #art #artist #abstractart #oilpastel 🔴
Andrew Salago's paintings have always incorporated references to literary works, however, his newer paintings of vases of flowers done in oil and oil pastels also have links back to literary references, but in a much more oblique way.

Who, Flower?

Welp. I'm calling this one done. I found the angle of the face incredibly difficult, but I'm proud of my efforts.
Please be kind - of my 2nd attempt at an oil pastel portrait.

Y'all. I'm pretty excited.
This is my first time ever trying an oil pastel portrait.
I think I'll do it again.
Tried anything new lately?

Continuing my love-hate-relationship with oil pastel.
When I saw the #DTIYS challenge from @mariibyrd, I wanted to try it.But I'm not happy with the result and as often it turned out differently than I had imagined. Oh well.
(also the washi tape tore the paper)

This memory from 5 years ago appeared in my Facebook feed.
The model, Maria, was one of our first Zoom models at the start of the pandemic, when her other work dried up.
Oil pastel on toned, gessoed watercolor paper.
