I've been happily lost in many washes of blues and purples lately, painting a very large pansy.

I thought it would be wonderful to paint one and celebrate all that lovely watery colour and see what would happen if I painted one very large. I chose a blue pansy, which I was quite taken by, but then grows more purple as it matures, and I decided to paint on a 16x16 inch square panel.
Here is a peek at the painting in progress, as I'm building up the layers of colour. Even though I have a place to paint, the living room floor was the only spot that seemed right that day. It's like I needed to lean over the painting to be fully immersed in it, rather than staring AT it on an easel.
The painting is almost finished now... just fine tuning some details. I'll post the completed blue pansy very soon!
