Hydrangea Study

"Hydrangea Study" 8" x 8" Watercolor on paper

These were transitional plantings between garden rooms at the Botanic Gardens. The blooms and buds and incidental plants caught my eye as I passed. Dots and lines in particular. Not just the pretty petals. 


This was a refresher in using masking fluid. I masked layer after layer of dry paint.  It worked nicely. I especially like the blue-green leaves on the right. They're so cool in temperature in the midst of quite a warm painting.

See it in my gallery on Dailypaintworks.  It'll be there with 150 of my other paintings, all lined up and perky. Not just stacked, propped or dangling from Fireline in my studio.

Thanks for checking in on me.
