Botanicals #39

thirty-ninth painting

The pansy patch has this one plant with two different flower types.

There are massive forest fires in Saskatchewan and the sky in Winnipeg is a eerie peach coloured hazy. My asthmatic daughter has trouble breathing. The shadow from our hose on the white stucco wall is oddly turquoise.

I emulate salt water taffy using butter-cream thick paint and pastel colours. I can't take the pansies seriously. I like their determined faces all pouty and grumpy but they make me laugh as they are but small flower heads.
