Pick me up

I started this oil pastel painting more than a year ago. I did the faces and then got frustrated and put it away.

I was looking through my paintings today and came across this unfinished painting. I looked at it and thought, "this is almost done!"

So I loosely put in the rest of the painting keeping everything soft so the focus stays on the faces.

It is amazing how looking at something with a fresh eye can help overcome what had been an obstacle.
