Pansy Dance Palette Knife oil painting

 Pansy dance
24x30cm (approx 10"x12"), oil on canvas panel.
Painted with palette knife

The final in my quartet of pansy paintings, again with the casserole but painted larger and with a palette knife. Once again, unsure of the lid and I am debating whether or not it needs the pattern on the casserole. Also I am not sure of that dark background. C&C gratefully received.

Casseroled Pansies oil painting



Casseroled Pansies
Oil on canvas panel
18x24cm (approx 7"x11")
The third of my pansy paintings, this time in one of my favourite little casseroles. As well as going into the oven, this casserole will also go onto an open flame or electric element. I unpotted the pansies, and much to their disgust, I squashed the roots into the casserole (it is quite small) to give me this arrangement.

I am not sure about the lid? It looks sort of OK but every now and then, it bothers me - I've been looking at it for a few days and I am unsure of whether or not to correct it. Hubby says leave it alone - it looks OK. What do you think?

I painted a second, slightly larger on of this composition which I will post soon. You'll be pleased to know, I rescued the pansies and re-potted them, lol.

Pansy Fever Oil Painting

 Pansy Fever by Marion Hedger
Oil on canvas board 24x30cm (approx 10" x 12")
Painted wet in wet.

Another pansy painting straight off the easel. I love painting these pansies, and those yellow ones really talk to me. This is slightly larger than my earlier pansy painting (see HERE) and more of a still life composition. I painted it wet in wet, trying to stay loose. I succeeded in parts, but I still find myself trying to put in all the details.
This is still wet and I will look at it tomorrow to see what needs tweaking. Those blue shadows are too blue in this photo, so I will also see if I can get a better photo. I always have trouble with photographing blues.

In progress Colourful Panisies Oil Painting - Garden 101 series

Colourful Pansies Work in Progress
Oil on canvas panel, 18x24cm

I am working on some pansy paintings at the moment. I am cheating a little because they are not strictly from my garden, but on the way into the garden. I need something floral and colourful to paint after trying to get back into the swing after a long vacation, and these fit the bill nicely.

I am still looking at this painting to see if it is finished and what tweaks may be needed. I think I may need to work on the back purple pansy as does not recede enough.

I will post an update when finished
