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.

Good job on the hydrangeas, Layne! Just enough detail, and wonderful range of values. I love it!

Thanks, Virginia...I had a difficult time with the background and forground and had to work to get te right values.

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