Pansies and Purple

The colder weather means the pansies
can now be planted.
My friend Sharon has a lovely new
area of them, bringing a bit of sunshine
warmth to a cold day.

ReplyDeleteYour painting is so SWEET and refined!
Perky, pretty pansies are perfect for this time of year! I'll be curious to see what you do with those photos, whether you feather individual flowers, or a cluster like the other painting! I know it's going to be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe rich colors and incredible texture is amazing in this painting, Julie!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on such a beautiful piece!!!
I am trying to remember this one. It is so delicate and beautiful. The blues and purples just seem to dance together in unison. Even Pansies would not survive our weather right now. We have so much snow and it's been below freezing.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your watercolor. I was looking at my watercolor I did at your house last August and just missing you!
I think I remember this beautiful pansy painting from the past Julie. These posies are so special to me. I plant them every spring in memory of my beloved grandma. I am sure she takes care of them for me every year too. Can't wait to see you watercolor - I am staying tuned. Hugs!
ReplyDeletethat painting is sooo beautiful! the flowers are beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteThis one makes me remember all my comments to you about the beautiful S curves in your paintings. I'll bet I said it about this one!
ReplyDeletePansies are such cheerful flowers, and this one is an explosion of joy ! So rich and full of life.
ReplyDeleteThis flower itself is a natural wonder, just look at the contrast in color and design, your painting brings out the essence of the wonder flower!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful flower painting, thank you Julie !!!
ReplyDeleteI really like this painting too, Julie. The complementary scheme, that gorgeous purple vase...
ReplyDeleteThose pansies are so expressive aren't they? Beautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, as usual!
ReplyDeletePansies make all of us smile. How lucky you are that the universal variety grow through the winter. Here, they are only universal till the snows crush the life out of them. I liked this painting then and I like it now. It's holding up. What could be more satisfying?
ReplyDeleteSpring and autumh are the time of these beautiful pansies. Flowers that seem to have a face and an expression as humans and that they can in a small space to give so much beauty as in your still life, along with the sparkling of the porcelain blue-purple. I think it will be a great watercolor.Have nice start of the week.
ReplyDeleteI always smile back at pansies, "Good morning, Ladies" I say, alas they are too shy to reply, but merely flutter their leaves and smile on. Your lovely painting left me smiling for some considerable time!
ReplyDeletePansies are truly uplifting in their playful and perky way. I look forward to your watercolor work!
ReplyDeleteWonderful textures on the painting of the pansies!!! They are such fun, cheerful flowers that you can't help but smile when you see them. Lovely painting.
ReplyDeleteI am filled with anticipation on your watercolor now! I like how you venture into different territories. It totally fits with you living in the Wild West!
ReplyDeleteI love your pansies! One of my favorite flowers. I am looking forward to seeing your watercolors!
ReplyDeleteThis painting is so full of sunshine Julie. Pansies have such a magical essence which you have captured perfectly and then enhanced further with the gorgeous gloss and glint of the purple vase.
