About this Painting…

Pansy, or pansies, the dictionary describes as, "a popular cultivated viola with flowers in rich colors, with both summer- and winter-flowering varieties."

I have always liked these little flowers and their colors are quite extensive, but the first pansy colors I am painting is a purple - blue pansy with some white, yellow and a touch of orange in its center in a terracotta pot on a light green background.

Doesn't everyone have a favorite flower? Actually, most would say these are my top ten flowers probably because there are just so many flowers that we love that it is hard to name a single one, I believe. What would you name in your top ten, or do you have a single favorite? Leave your comments, below!

Pansies are just ONE of mine. Remember in the movie, "You've Got Mail" when Meg Ryan's character is talking about her favorite flower?

Kathleen Kelly:
I love daisies.

Joe Fox:
You told me.

Kathleen Kelly:
They're so friendly. Don't you think they are the friendliest flower?

For me, not so much on the daisy...

Pansies just make me smile and know that spring is here. So many awesome colors and such delicacy. They can be fancy and frilly, but they don't have to be. They can be dressed in solid colors or wear a mixture. Kind of a tough little flower too.

So as always, a painting must start with a background

These pansies decided to be purple so far, with some white, and I think some yellow is coming.

Post 65: Orchid in a Terracotta Pot 11x14 Acrylic Painting on Canvas

Painting Name: Orchid in a Terracotta Pot

Backgrounds will be an ongoing study for me in future paintings for still life.

SKU: 02W21ACG

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 11x14 Gallery Wrapped Stretched Canvas

Framed?: No

Edition Year: 2021

Check Availability and Prints on my Etsy Shop

About this Painting…

This is a Gallery Wrap stretched canvas turned vertically so the 14 inch side is up and the 11 side is horizontal. The orchids are white, pale green, tinges of peach, and pale blues and a bit of soft orange. The leaves are a deep green. The background is beige, blue, brown and white.

I have to confess, I have never grown orchids, have you? They always seemed so intimidating to my somewhat green thumb (oh, it was a paint smudge, sorry). But I did learn a few things and this link certainly breaks through the rumors and myths so if I can find the right placement for one, maybe I will try to grow one.

In the meantime, I may keep this one hanging up for awhile.

About this Painting…

They say the third time is the charm, but to me, this painting has been charming three times in a row! I have sold the first two versions of it so obviously, that meant I HAD to paint it again.

Each one comes out a little different and I really want to go buy an African Violet for my desk here in my office. A happy little plant that is particular about its watering.

If you like this painting, please see it on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/listing/931492186/african-violets-original-floral-artwork?ref=shop_home_active_5&frs=1 - and see everything available in my Etsy Shop. Painters are a small business too!

About this Painting…

This is version 2 of African Violets - I had to paint it again because I sold the other one. African Violets in a Terracotta Pot 2 is slightly different than the first one of course, as each are handpainted.

The picture quality shown here was not as nice as version 1 and 3 and alas, it is on its way to its new home these were the quick pictures taken on a less than sunny day.
