I had looked at a couple of oil pastels pieces I had recently done and wanted to make some changes.... Working on the darker grey/green board continues to give me issues. The image is darker... I need to work at lightening things up. Now, while working at a sunny window the Sennelier oil pastels became quite soft -I may have problems with them in the summer. Nevertheless, I am enjoying the challenges of this new media for me.
In some areas to be changed I had to use a palette knife to scrape away the oil pastel before re-colouring.

| Here I changed the sky area to a peach colour to make the image a little more alive, and the upper portion of the background lighter to create more value variety and make the woodpecker more noticeable. |

| Note the difference in temperature with the changes. |

Part of the bush area was lightened to create more value variety and make the cardinal more noticeable. (I may have to redo the cardinal.)
