Blue Delphiniums in Oil Pastel

This is the second painting for the blue flower challenge on wetcanvas.com
 Blue Delphinium
30x40cm (12"x16")
Oil pastel on black Somerset Velvet paper
Somerset velvet is a printing paper and it has a nice soft springy feel. I love using it for oil pastels and soft pastels. I also like using black as the background for florals as the black makes the colours sing, as is the case here where the blue really zings.
