Purple and Gray

SOLD

Here's another Pansy that I painted a while back. I like the gray background and the soft edges of the flower. Glass jars are fun to paint, but usually challenging.

This has been a great week-end since we spent it at the beach.  It was cool, but sunny and we had a fun and relaxing time. I worked at the gallery Saturday afternoon; we were pretty busy and sales were brisk. 

I hope you had some fun with family and friends this week-end, and maybe some sunshine, too.

What fun it was painting this Pansy and the tiny basket. 

We usually get the "Monet Mix" variety of pansies, this time we found some called "Tapestry" at Gulley's Garden Center that have a wide range of colors and patterns in the flowers. The thing I love about pansies is their hardiness throughout the winter and into next spring. If we have snow and ice, they slow down but always make a quick comeback.

Tomorrow I'll be planting Pansies; we still have a couple of flats that have not made it into the garden yet.  This is a repost of one of my favorites from the past. I am so happy to be back in the studio after being away last week.

There are some things that call for one of my grandmother's antique blue jars.

I usually do not pick any of the pansies, but it's nice having this specially chosen bloom to enjoy in the kitchen.
