When I work with oil pastels, I am reminded that even if I make a mistake, I will still be proud of my work, no matter what. I begin a piece by starting with an idea based off of one thought. I know a piece is done when I feel content about my work. When my work is going well, I am filled with a sense of pride. When people see my work, I'd like them to feel the way I felt while working on this piece.
