When I returned from SC, my lace-cap hydrangeas were just past blooming. I wanted to capture these as a record for blooming trees and shrubs from my garden.
The scan doesn't show the light blue/pink swirl of color around these ...
I love lacecaps, although maybe not quite as much as mopheads. I have several lacecaps in the yard but they're not blooming at all yet. Your version of yours is very pretty.
Lin this is a lovely painting - the flowers look so incredibly delicate! You really are showing a penchant for beautiful floral and tree paintings. I love seeing them!
Scanners are a pain sometimes. Our hydranges are just beginning to bud, funny that your are so far ahead. I would have liked to see the pink and blue swirls around them.
Nice watercolor Lin. I applauded you continuing to paint and post here with all that has been going on! BRAVO! Interesting that you live hundreds of miles north of me and my lace-cap hydrangeas have just started to bud. Unfortunately my bamboo is sprouting up like wild fire. See it on my blog.

ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous. So delicate. :o) I haven't had much luck with these. I don't think they like the soil hereabouts.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe any of your hydrangeas are blooming already! They would really be hard to draw, I'd bet -- great job! :-)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen these flowers for years - lovely.

ReplyDeleteLin, this is so pretty and lacy. You captured it so well.

ReplyDeleteOh, Lin, they are lovely. They were my daddy's favorite flower, and he was quite the gardner.
