Oh wait till Cris sees this Joan. She will LOVE it. She LOVES pansies more than anyone I've ever known. My late MIL loved them too. But Cris maybe even more. I love your ATC sized painting of them. I love the look of the container that looks stone or concrete? And the little pebbles on the ground!
OH I DO LOVE THIS.. WOW. I have a photo similar to this someone sent me to paint and I never did. I should dig it out again. If I can find it. you did a lovely job. Lynn knows me so well. lol
Such an attractive painting of the pansies, I always love this flower and their delicate velvety petals. As you say, they seem to have smiling faces. I also like the contrast of the more subtle way you have painted the stone planter.
Thanks everyone! We lived in the same house with my grandparents and my grandmother always planted pansies in the garden. I can remember someone buying them for her and her taking them out of the little boxes and putting them into the ground. I know she had other flowers in there but I only remember the pansies, the rose bushes, and her lilac tree.
Coreopsis - I love how so many of us have memories of pansies going back to our childhoods. Thanks.
Dion - Thank you.
Penny - Thanks so much.
Gloria - Thanks. If I had a sunny spot to grow them I would. I have to search for flowers that like mostly shade since that is what I get on this side of our complex.

ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful! It makes me nostalgic for my childhood. My mom always planted pansies. I like how soft the color is here.
