Birth Flower 2 - February Violet 'Classical Chopin'

$7.50

February Birth Flower - Violet meaning
- faithfulness
- honesty
- spiritual wisdom
- loyalty

I picked classic Chopin music for this flower.

I always think of vintage postcards when I think of violets, since I have a few from my family’s vintage postcard collection.

I love how elegantly they wrote back then! I found a birthday postcard from year 1911 addressed to my great grandmother Blanche Stoller that reads:

“Dear Blanche:-
I wish you many happy returns of this, your birthday.
Lovingly,
Luly belle”

To help me practice, I first purchased real African Violets (only violets I can find), then I sketch using my grandpa’s mechanical pencil (written on it Russell Tyler), mix up the shades of purple and green paint.

I place these completed violet paintings and drawings in between lace pieces that were given to me from my grandma. They could of been made by someone in my family.

As I paint these I connect to my grandpa, grandma and great grandparents. I wonder what life was like back in 1911 and their struggles and joys.
