SUMMER HYDRANGEAS

Garden walks are a favorite activity for me. I was in awe of the beautiful hydrangeas and the variety of color in the blooms. They ranged from light pinks to deep violets. The individual petals made up this wonderful round shape that I wanted to capture. I accentuated the yellow buds as they made a wonderful contrast to the violets.

The painting is 18” x 12” and was done on Wallis sanded pastel paper using soft pastels. To get the richness of color I used many layers going from hard to soft pastels and dark to light.

It measures 24" x 18" with a 3 inch mat. The original pastel is $500.00
