Pansies were my favorite flower when I was a little girl. They had such large petals and wonderful rich colors. My Aunt Helen, who worked at a greenhouse, introduced me to them. She brought a large pot full of their showy blooms to set on my grandparents porch. I thought they were so pretty and instantly fell in love with them.
Pansy, A Little Girl’s First Love, Acrylic on canvas, 20″ x 20″
Now I have many favorite flowers, but pansies will always remind me of being a little girl and the first flower I discovered. Painting this pansy was such a fun walk down memory lane. The paint just flowed onto my canvas.
I hope you have a wonderful, creative, day, Janell

I am always reminded of velvet when I look at their petals and it struck me that in this beautiful painting, you not only perfectly captured the colour but also the texture.
Exquisite.
