Hydrangeas in Watercolor


HI, I sketched this hydrangea this weekend and have started to paint it this morning. I love the colors. I want to hold on to the looseness of the background in the flowers. We'll see. We have this bush in our yard. I love hydrangeas and have 8 in the backyard some I rooted myself. They do grow really well in the woods,thank goodness. So many things require so much sun and don't do well here.

Here's Sadie, she has something in her mouth. She's hiding under my art table and of course I'm right there ready to pry it out --whatever it is.. Oh no.. Have a great Monday. love,Diana

  1. Oh Sadie you must be related to my two boys. I am on constant patrol with them. It usually is a pine cone. LoL!

    Sadie is so cheeky! Sherlock has always got something he shouldn't have in his mouth too! :0)

  4. I so love hydrangeas and the beautiful colors they turn. I planted three of them in my front yard and while they seem to have lost some height since I first planted them 2 years ago, they still grow. I've seen huge hydrangea bushes and mine are getting shorter? Yikes! Last year, one did not flower at all but it was the first to bloom this year. I don't get it.

    Your painting is coming along beautifully, Diana! I love the softness that so captures these beautiful flowers. And what did Sadie have in her mouth? Enquiring minds want to know!
