Hydrangeas

I love Hydrangeas and I've tried
drying them in the past with no
luck..they wilt immediately. My
friend Maddie has beautiful
Hydrangeas in her yard and she dried
a bouquet for me with all these
beautiful colors. I never painted a
floral but thought it would be
nice to try in oil.

    Ces boules d'hortensia sont superbes. On peut sentir le poids de chacune... Elles tournent bien...
    Un très beau bouquet... MAGNIFIQUE!
    gros bisous

    Very interesting painting specially because one can see the Hydrangeas, but it looks different when you zoom in out the picture. Congrats Hilda!

    Very pretty :o)
    My hydrangeas are newly planted (2nd year) so not many blooms as yet but I look forward to having enough to dry next year perhaps.

    Very pretty! Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers. Love all the colors, and I can't believe you've never done a flower before.

    I love hydrangeas and can't believe all the colours they come in. This is a beautiful painting. In fact, although I've always loved your posts, your most recent works show a new level of expertise. The result of hard work. Well done!

    with subtle changes in colours you have been able to depict the light and shadow so beautifully

    A lovely work Hilda. The non-descript background doesn't take away from the floral arrangement. I like it, thanks for sharing!

    thank you DIANE for your comment. I hope to paint more flowers as well. A portrait doesn't scare me ...flowers do! LOL

    Las hydrangeas son unas flores bellísimas y muy difíciles de pintar, pero tú lo has hecho con una gran maestría. Un trabajo maravilloso. Felicidades!.

    Gosh Hilda! The first time you commented I tried to find your blog and couldn't. This time I clicked on your name from another blogger's comment section and your blog name came up. (Now watch...I'll make a liar out of myself if you found another comment from me earlier! LOL) At any rate, I'm glad to have your blog, I added it to my list, and voila! Here to stay. Love each an every beautiful piece you've done but on this page, that old rusty truck has to be my favorite!
