Day 97 Pansies I and II

I love purple. Even where there is no purple in a painting, I manage to slip some in the shadows or the darkest darks. So much better than black. More than one person has commented "you put a lot of purple in your paintings". So here was my excuse to use purple today. These pansies were given to me by a friend and I finally got around to painting them. I knew they would last, so I didn't rush on the painting. Not rushing is good.
Today you get 2 for 1. I wasn't sure about the first one, it wasn't quite as loose as I wanted so I stopped rushing and painted more pansies.
