About these Paintings...
These two mini canvases are gallery wrapped. They are 5 by 5 - bigger than the coffee cup shown here to give you an idea. I painted them with brilliant blue backgrounds.

I like things better design wise in threes or odd numbers, but I did not currently have a third same size canvas. Thus, it does set up the need for doing a rose, or more red grape later, I am thinking. We shall see. I definitely want to paint more grape pictures at some point anyway.

Post 71: A Pot of Purple Pansies 8x10 Acrylic

Painting Name: A Pot of Purple Pansies

There are so many types and colors of pansies, I don't see where I could possibly not paint more. 

SKU: 02Z21ACG
Medium: Acrylic
Size: 8x10 Stretched Canvas
Framed?: No
Edition Year: 2021
Prints Available Upon Request or on Etsy

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.

A Painting in Progress: A Pot of Purple Pansies

Now I have movie quotes going. I'm sure it's not the first time and it will definitely NOT be the last.

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.

About this Painting…
I come from a family that has always had cats, sometimes more than one at once. Yet somehow, I have not ever painted any of them. Weird, I think. And wouldn't you know, my first venture into the feline world of painting is that of a big cat; a tiger precisely. Well, all of our house cats thought they were this ferocious at some point.

What would you name this Painting? Leave your comments!



A bit of a pause in painting the last few days - I've been helping a friend move. I LOVED the house they had in Clifton, but it was sold on the first day it was on the market! I suppose someone else will now love that house.

Anyway, in a pause from packing, we took a break at my most favorite restaurant that I have found in Northern Virginia thus far - Trattoria Villagio in Clifton, Virginia. EVERYTHING about them is first class in my book! And we ate outside on February 4, 2021 - repeat, FEB 4 eat outside? Yes. Between the fireplace and those outdoor heaters, we were happy campers.



Covid Igloos and wall built around tables for private dining outdoors on their patio. We had the shrimp appetizer and split a steak panini, glass of red - I could eat there every day. Note: ice on the surfaces...


Painting in Progress: pupils help to not look like a dead owl.




Bigger pupils, that's what he needed, and don't say "who". Its all about layer building. I envy those painters that can swipe, swipe, swipe and they are done. That isn't how I can paint.

2/7/2021 8:45 AM Snowy day; its coming down at a good clip here on this Super Bowl Sunday.


10:30 AM Subtle but needed changes...
