A tired girl

I have been trying Arches oil paper. It's great IMO, no gesso needed and its archival. There is a bit of resistance to the paint at first, due to some absorbency I guess, but after that the paint just glides on. So far happy with my new discovery. The painting below is oil on Arches oil paper, 11x7 ins using a muted palette, a brush and then palette knife  impasto in areas.

Abstract figure

I was working on a small painting of a figure that was going nowhere, just not working. So I was left with lots of colourful impasto on my panel, but no figure. What to do? I decided, abstraction, a little figure by use of  the paint already on the panel. 8x6x0.75 ins.
