These lovely pale pink Pansies have ruffled petals which remind me of a lacy tulle tutu. I placed them in an old hammered copper watering can where they dance over the sides. But I still felt something was missing, so to compliment the theme and make the pansies stand out a bit more, I hung ballerina slippers on the wall behind. Still I didn't feel it was complete, so I then finally decided to add the jewelry. I had been thinking about draping the pearls over the spout and the rings on its pouring end, since I began the painting, just couldn't decide to do it or not. The scene began to remind me of a teen girl's space, so I added the jewelry and the whimsical antique perfume bottle. And voila! The painting has evolved, I am finally happy with it and will call it finished.
