Last week I purchased the yellow pansies for my class and the students loved painting them.  Well I could not resist painting them for myself.  The addition of the red flowers and little purple flowers for contrast.  I placed them in my blue garden bowl and now all I can think about is getting ready for Spring.

When at the garden center earlier this week they were starting to put out all the little starter plants.  Well before I left the buggy was full of small assorted plants.  When arriving back at the studio just couldn't decide which model I liked the best so they all got the privilege of being a model for my newest painting.  My favorite flowers was the small pansies just twisting and turning each way amoung all the other flowers.  Then the miniature buttercups reached for the top of the bunch.  Each flower was looking for their own personal attention.

Shriner Poppies by artist Pat Meyer

Yesterday I was at Lowes looking for some new garden flowers to paint.  Many new little selections to pick from but when I spotted the poppies I went right over to select the perfect pot of poppies.  I had never painted poppies before and didn't know why I had such a strong feeling towards them.  When speaking to my cousin later in the day I was reminded about her Daddy and Mine both selling poppies to raise money for the Shriners Hospital.  These poppies must have been tugging at my heart since we had just lost my uncle this week.  He is now in heaven with  my Daddy his brother and heaven is rejoicing.  I am glad I painted the poppies for them.
