Violets In Vase

Since it's so dreary where I'm at today, I decided to write a post about one of my more colorful watercolors. This watercolor was painted by me back in 1998. The name of this painting is called"Violets in Vase." I hope the colors will cheer those up who are bored of these dreary, cold days the same way I am, also the god awful repetition of repeated every day occurrences .

  3. Well, the day is just as gloomy over here. Your pretty vase of violets is beautiful, the colors being so bright.

  4. I love this cheerful painting too, Lydia. I think you're an awesome painter:)

    I've been catching up on your lovely posts, quotes and pictures. I love the crystaline snow tree and the intimate view of the pink flower as well as your chosen quotes.....

  5. Hello Linda, Thank you for the lovely complements. I'm trying to make time to paint more these days, but it's still hard to do with the kids.

  7. Lydia, of all the paintings that you've posted, I think this one of the pansies is my favorite!

    It is cheerful, and I love the colors!

  8. Hi Lydia,

    I am glad that you get back to painting again these days and am looking forward very much to seeing more of your artwork on the blog.

    The violets are wonderful, everyone with two different colors, and their faces so sweet.

  9. Hello Jan, Thank you. I thought that the vibrant colors of this painting would cheer those up who are experiencing those dreadful winter blues.

    Hello Eva, It's so nice to be getting back into my art again. It's been so hard for me to find the time. I am now going to make it a priority to at least pick up my brush three times a week.

  11. Lydia..I am laughing at myself for calling your orchids, pansies, but one of your commenters jogged my realization that I had done so.

    I had just visitied another blogger, a wonderful gardener, and their blog is always filled with flowers of every kind, so I guess that's where my mind was.

    No matter..I love the watercolor! :)

    P.S. I keep going back to the site with the window cleaner, and it is still crashed from having so many visitors.

    I really wanted you to see it, because I know you would have liked it.

    I will keep checking, and as soon as it is up and running again, I will send it to you!

  13. Hello Jan, Don't worry about that at all, I didn't even realize you did call them orchids. I still can't find where you wrote the word orchids in your comment. If you did that's very o.k. I would love to see the window cleaner site. Please do let me know when it is up and running again.

  14. The flowers are so large and vivacious (if you can call flowers that), I thought they were pansies (I prefer them to petunias). Again, it's so nice to see a dash of colour to remind us that the dingy grey snow and slush will soon be only a memory.

  15. Your Violets in Vase are beautiful. I followed GiventhemHell's advice and came here. To find, that, you too decided to post an entry that was bright and colorful and would take us away for a while, from the cold winter. Serendipity! I love this!Maybe I should start a vegan diet!

  16. Hello Anangeli, Welcome! Thank you for visiting my blog. I thought we all could use some cheer with bright colors since it's so dreary here and in many other parts of the world right now. If you decide to become a vegan, you can do it slowly instead of diving right into it.
