Pansies


Spring in Texas! Just a few short weeks ago (five?), we had freezing temps and had to bundle up to venture outside! Now, though it isn't summer by any means, and technically not even spring, the sun is shining, the temps are MUCH warmer, and flowers are blooming in unexpected places everywhere. I just had to capture some of this spring feeling, and what better way than with dear little pansy faces turned up to the sun! I hope you enjoy them, and that spring is on its way to you, even if only in your heart for now!

You captured their sweet faces so well!

Regina Calton Burchett said...

Great colors in this, Sue! My favorites. Are you sending this to the Wildflower Center?

Susan Abston Wiley said...

Thanks, Rae, 'Zanne, and Regina! And no, Regina, probably not because, technically, they aren't wildflowers. (:-( They'll be for sale at our home show at the end of the month, though.

Sue, these are beautiful. I love blue, purple, too. Nice.

Hi, Jo, thanks for stopping by, glad you liked the little painting. So sorry to see your gallery closing, but very happy that Bastrop will keep it in the art family after you leave. Meanwhile, happy trails to you and Gene (but will see you at APS meetings off and on, too).

This defintely gives a spring feeling to the day, now if it could just warm up a bit here in NY. Love the lights and wonderful colors!

Hi, Joan, thanks for your comments! We've been watching the weather in NY, since out daughter and SIL moved back to NYC last fall: hang on, it looks like spring may be just around the corner!
