Oil pastels are my coping mechanism these days. 🎨
Sunflowers on a roof and some recent art projects. 🎨

More good mess, this time smooshed seed pods from marigolds, purple peas, and calendula. Soft oil pastels are my new coping mechanism, I guess. Thanks to @art.prof and their monthly art dare for the inspiration.
I got some oil pastels a couple weeks ago and have been making quite a lot of mess since.

Nanking cherry blossoms are gorgeous. I don't know what variety of lilac this is, but it's fancy.
And this family of Johnny Jump-Ups would like to say hello.
