Technicolor Bessie - Original Oil Pastel Abstract Cow 9x12

Original Oil Pastel Artwork — 9x12 on Black Pastel Paper
 
This expressive cow portrait is created with soft pastels on black paper, using bold color and dynamic mark‑making to bring the animal’s personality to life. Built on a rich underlayer, the colors glow against the dark background, giving the piece a luminous, painterly finish.
 
Vibrant strokes of tangerine, purple, blue, and yellow create movement across the face, while the white highlights define the structure and draw the viewer’s eye to the cow’s gentle expression. The background is filled with energetic lines and color accents, adding depth and atmosphere without overwhelming the subject.
 
This piece is full of character — warm, lively, and unmistakably expressive. It’s a striking statement artwork for collectors who appreciate modern, colorful animal portraits.
 
Each mark is hand‑drawn, making this a one‑of‑a‑kind original.

Care Instructions for Pastel Artwork: Pastel paintings are beautifully vibrant and long‑lasting, but their surface is delicate. Keep the artwork in its protective sleeve until you’re ready to frame it, and avoid touching the surface directly. For best preservation, frame the piece under glass using a mat so the artwork doesn’t touch the glass. Please do not use spray fixative, as it can darken or change the colors. Display your artwork away from direct sunlight or harsh lighting to keep it bright and beautiful for years to come.
