The Christmas parol is a good subject. It helps me focus on lines and colors. I also made a bird drawing (no picture) because it helps me visualize the many birds I hear around the house. I love watching birds when I do my regular walking. When I get well enough to resume my daily walks, I will look for birds with nice colors.

The two plates above is a visual exercise. It allows me to work on lines, textures and colors and less on objects. It helps me get acquainted with oil pastels again.
