Oil pastel self- portrait

I did it this afternoon

I was cooking naked because it was hot in the house.

the latest stage in this painting's metamorphosis

it used to be this

here is how it began at first

an abstract one

although, still a self portrait.

the oil pastels have been so calming

there's no pressure with this medium

they are colorful and satisfying without feeling the stressfulness of paint or charcoal
