Tortoiseshell on Pansies

Date: November 2023 Medium: Oil on wood panel

Size: 16" round

Availability: Original and paper prints for Sale

I decided to paint this scene primarily so I could use a couple new Williamsburg handmade oil colours. The vibrant blues and purples look so stunning next to the orange and yellows. The circular panel was a fun challenge, and I will probably paint many more!
