A little close in view of one of the pansy faces.

Today I decided to be more literal with the leaves, but I actually prefer the leaf treatment from yesterday, I think. Which do you guys like better?
Been awhile since I ran an auction, so i thought I'd give this one a try.

Pansies at the Giant (one of our local groceries) were 3 pots for $10. I couldn't resist.
Tomorrow will be some yellows.
I wanted the leaves to be abstract, and though I had to work at it, I like how this looks.

Another rough and tumble floral tonight, as I ran around all day, and didn't have much time to really think too much about it, just painted. In spite of that, I'm pretty happy with the way it came out.

I was able to find an old canvas to do a palette knife painting on. If you click on the image to see it larger, you can tell how highly textured it is. I love the lavender and turquoise in there.

I had one more little canvas to use today, while we are snowed in again in the DC area. I had bought a couple of polka dot dishtowels at Tuesday Morning the other day, so thought I'd try something with dots. Fun with the pitcher in the background.
