I used to be impatient when the internet is slow. However, I found a new way to be patient. They say art is a way to release. It was true to me when I was young, and it is still true to me now.
.
My boys have their sets of oil pastel laying around the house, unused. They are more fond alcohol markers and colour pencils than anything else. I, on the flip side, prefer watercolor, poster colour and crayons. I had never tried oil pastel colour until recently.
My first try
I wanted to do something simple to try out the texture of oil pastel (while I was killing some time waiting for my another art to be minted), how it blended and etc. I was feeling a little lonesome (not really lonely or feeling alone, it was some PMS thingy, just blame the hormone). So, I drew these.
Lonesome
I fell in love the moment I used oil pastel. It is so thick and creamy, like spreading peanut butter on baguette. Easy to blend between two colours too. Happy with the result, the lonesomeness sort of got rid of. I added a little flower on top. Just to feel pretty and cute. 🌸
Double
When you feel happier, your soul became more colourful and everything double up. You could tell from this next cactus I drew. Two of them, with cute colour 'topping'. I always love this type of cactus. Aren't they adorable together? My son said this looks like Rosa in the game called Brawlers. Haha.
Intertwine
When you are in love, you forget about each other's weaknesses. You just see all the good things on each other, all the strength exhibited, and you just want to be close to each other, if possible, just merge. Perhaps that's why we call it 2 become 1 in marriage. You intertwine. It is no longer you and you. It becomes US. See the lovey dovey here.
After drawing three pieces of art of cacti, the transaction still couldn't go through. I guessed it had nothing to do with my Internet but rather the network or whatever gas fee stuff. But, my heart was full. Oil pastel is so nice to use. Art — indeed, relieved me from stress or moodiness.
Hope you like how my cactus team evolved.
Thank you for reading and looking at my art. Take care.
❤️Love from me❤️ 
🌷Flowers for you🌷
