Primrose Time - acrylic painting!

JOA manager's house (my painting from another summer)

(JOA = Jensen-Olson Arboretum)

This year (2022) the City of Juneau is celebrating 

their Arboretum's 15th anniversary. 

The Jensen-Olson Arboretum 👈 that link is the city's page, 

but they have their own facebook page 

and they keep it up to date HERE.

My local painting group heads out to paint there quite often,

and I love it there. I will go again soon, however,

 this painting was done using one of my

photographs from another year.

I painted with acrylics for this one ... not something I do very often,

so you can see how it went below!

my photo for my scene

primula

This photo shows Primula denticulata (Drumstick Primrose).

In the Victorian language of flowers, 

primroses' association with youth and young love means

 “I can't live without you.” 

Across cultures, primroses signify spring, protection, safety, and love.

Primrose Time (at the Arboretum)    acrylic on canvas panel   11 x 14 inches (unframed) 

We repurposed an older frame and I love it!

I hope you can get to visit the JOA this summer! 

(those who live here, and those who will be coming to Juneau!)

Happy Spring! Happy Painting!
