Its pansy Time Again!


Pansy Time

Artist Note.
The pansies are back
and I have planted them in pots
on our balcony.
Such a happy flower. 
They make me happy
thru the wintertime.

  1. I DO like pansies! For some reason they always seem like a happy flower, if that makes sense. They're hardy, too. Yours look so pretty in that blue vase, and the textures in this painting give it a three-dimensional quality.

  4. I agree with Carol that they are a happy flower, a little bit impish with that almost-face in the middle. And they come in so many colors! Your painting is beautiful.

  5. Such a lovely painting of pansies; the colors are perfectly-selected. You paint flowers so beautifully, Julie.
    Yes, I do think pansies are a delight, but my garden is full to overflowing so I've not had space for them in recent years. In winter, however, I always bring in some of my geraniums and place then in pots on my studio windowsill. They bloom madly all winter and look beautiful from outside as well; a touch of spring peeping over a snow-covered garden. Often, they return outside the following summer. Such obliging little plants!
    (P.S. I am painting, thanks for asking, but they are gifts so not being posted yet.)

    1. I agree, Helene, geraniums are wonderful during the winter. I totally understand. Where I live they have moved a lot of geraniums by a south window in the swimming pool area. it glows!

    1. Uplifting is the right word, Jane. Even though we do not have many gray days where I live.
      I really am enjoying your abstract work. It seems to flow effortlessly from you.

  11. Poor Jennifer, you are allergic to pansies? I didn't think of them having pollen but of course they do. They do not survive too long inside. Mine were droopy in no time.

  12. Oh I love pansies...they are certainly a favorite of mine...where we live though they are early bloomers in the spring. Your painting certainly shows how much you love them. It is beautiful friend. Hugs!

  13. I love the pansies too Julie, and especially like this painting. So balanced with great color harmony. No wonder someone snapped it up!
