Pansy Time #4

8x6in oil on canvas board 100.


Continuing the Pansy Series.

This time I placed them in colorful vases which competed for attention.
A purely decorative and fun piece to do.

  5. I love the evolution of your pansy series -- from a more classic composition to more modern, patterned look to this one, the play of colored fields. I especially like the knife work of the third in the series -- very energetic and playful.

    Thanks for sharing the tip of double loading with the chiseled brush -- funny that I was taught to do the same in watercolor! Never thought of using it for smooth blending in oil, and I tried it -- it worked! Thanks again. So much for me to learn...
