Their little Faces, I Could Take Them All Home

Oh the Pansies are here, in Oklahoma they last through the winter so the nurseries are full. So many varieties I wanted them all. As far as models they are the best, they last and last even out of water for a while without drooping. If they do droop, pop them back in water and they are good as new. Maybe I should rate the best and worst flowers for still life painters based on how well they cooperate. I know I have watched Tulips go from closed bud to wide open and pointing in another direction in a couple of hours. Anyhow, I painted this 6"x8" as soon as I got home, what fun.

"Sunflower"

"Jasmine"

I'm not very pleased with this, but they can't all be winners.
