Pansies are one of the great delights of spring. Different than daffodils that seem formal, like trumpets announcing the arrival of a monarch, pansies seem unassuming and filled with good cheer like the villagers and peasants lining the street to catch a glimpse of their King or Queen, gazing with smiling faces lifted up. Lately, I've tried out painting this year's pansies in three sizes, in the first two the pansies are pretty much life size but in the third the pansies have become super-sized and have the presence of guests in your home.

Speaking of flower paintings, I came across this site to share with you, it's ARTinthePICTURE.com and they have a page of the TOP 10 FLOWER PAINTINGS (of all times presumably). I don't know who chose them or using what criteria, but it's fun anyway to see what's on someone's list of the top 10 flower paintings. Perhaps I should make my own personal list of favorite flower paintings. OK, look for that in the next couple of weeks, meanwhile enjoy the pansies.

Aren't these a charming pair? Morning and afternoon smiling pansy faces. We're having a string of April Showers here but as soon as the sun is shining again and the earth has warmed a little I'm filling my garden with pansies. Can't wait! But until then I'll just enjoy these darling little pieces, hope you do too!

Reverie

A warm and cheery fire roars merrily

And shadows dance about the darkened room.

Beside the hearth a gardener sits and dreams

Of sunny days, of flowers in full bloom.

Some hollyhocks should tower near the fence,

Bright red. ones that the bees can't help but find.

The trellis at the gate again must wear

Blue morning glories, or the rosy kind.

To lend a bit of distance to the scene,

Close to the rear I'll plant in shades of blue:

The tall and stately larkspur, double ones­

Of course I'll put in scabiosa, too.

I couldn't do without a pansy bed­

Snapdragons make such beautiful bouquets­

Frilled zinnias and yellow marigolds

Add just the proper touch to autumn days.

The flowers grow and bloom with loveliness

Until a sound destroys the fantasy­

A burning ember falls and I must leave

My garden and my charming reverie.

Almost half of the small paintings in Poppy Series II have sold, and I've had a few requests for larger poppy paintings, so here's one that's a nice size for a dining room or over a sofa. I have on hand several really nice wide gold frames in this size. If you would like to purchase this piece framed it would be an additional $230, which would cover the frame and the additional shipping charges.
