Pansy Time #6
Pansy Time #6
5x7in oil on canvas 90.
Continuing the series with more freedom. By now I have the feel as well as
knowledge of the pansy structure.
Artist Note:
Using the same three colors as yesterday but handling the
painting in a far more abstract manner.
Using the same triad of colors as yesterday, I pre-mixed the
different variations of colors ahead on the palette.
The design I had in mind was to have the flowers in the top, left area
and the vase to continue out of the bottom.
I started with the main yellow pansy, working outwards from there.
I used only a knife and let what was happening on the canvas dictate what came next.

I am a painter living in Las Cruces, NM. After many years as an illustrator I turned to fine art to develop my own artistic voice. I currently teach talented and enthusiastic artists in oil, acrylic and egg tempera painting. I am also a member of the Artist Guild of Southern New Mexico.

ReplyDeleteJulie, I really admire your work. This is one of my favorites. Love the loose feel...
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely, Julie. The colors are amazing! :o)
ReplyDeleteThere is just no way you can make a bad pansy painting, even in abstract it is gorgeous, really love this.
ReplyDeleteVery well painted, I like the abstract quality of this and the balance of warm purples against the very cool glass (?) vase. Nice one!
ReplyDeleteI love the looseness of this one!
ReplyDeleteI love this combination of softness and sharp lines that the knife gives.
ReplyDeleteWhat I really love about a lot of your painting is -- they are done full of intentions. The composition and styles seem to be well thought about and planned, so are the color schemes -- that's probably why they always seem so effective! I like this piece for all the hinted but not explicitly painted details surrounding the flower and the pot, and the vibrant yellow-turquoise color contrast.
