Hydrangea in Glass Vase


These are the prettiest blue hydragea blossoms. I am working on a larger still life which include this vase of flowers. The light on these flowers was very appealing and I wanted to capture the image on its own. In this painting I tried for greater harmony and worked to establish a strong contrast.

Linda this is such a nice painting. Hydrangeas are so complicated and you have simplified them beautifully. Lovely colors

Yes, I agree with Ruth, hydrangeas are complicated. Your immediate brush strokes give it a Van Gogh feeling. Even though you have used soft cool colours your brush work has created lots of energy.

Peach Peony....Day 24

  6"X 6" Oil Ampersand Gessobord $125.00 I'm ready to chill out after this one.  It was really HARD!   So many petals going all different ways.  I am pleased with the results.  I have to laugh at myself....I thought of showing a step by step process in the painting of this peony....but....never looks like anything until the last few strokes!  I am happy with this painting however I got here.  This painting is found here :
