Close Up Of A Pansy

This watercolor is called "The close up of a pansy," created by me for my pansy series. A few years back I went on this obsessive and crazy pansy kick. Everything I painted had to do with this species of flowers. I even started planting them all through out my landscape when I lived at my first home. The colors were just beautiful, so I started bringing them in and painting them. Nowadays I just have to stop making excuses and carve out some time to pick up my brush. Painting can be very therapeutic for me.

Daisies in Vase

This is a watercolor I painted back a few years ago. Since I'm missing summer and all the flora that comes along with it, I've decided to use this daisy painting for my post. I have to admit I have a bad case of cabin fever right now.

Watercolor Butterfly Painting

This is a watercolor I did in 1997. At the time I was pumping out artwork like crazy. I hope to do that again soon. It feels so good just to get lost in my creativity when I get the time. This may be used in one of the projects I'm presently working on, which is creating a deck of butterfly knowledge cards. This particular painting was named "The Chrysalis."
While I was painting this piece I was thinking of the times when life can seem so dull and negative. If only we can look past the darkness that may be in our lives, we will know that light, love and change are waiting for us. During times of trouble we have to get through that door and out of the blackness to feel and see that good things are indeed presented in front of us.
