Though a lighter blue than the photo I posed as a challenge (http://www.flickr.com/photos/linfrye/5867369944/), my painting here is an effort to show that wonderful light that seems to bounce off these blue hydrangea. There is something so cooling about blue in a garden, especially when temps reach high in the 90s as they tend to do in our region. I also love the challenge of these complex flowers -- the effort of keeping them simple and yet defined.
Back to work and quite a bit of catch up after a few days away. We had some rain last night -- yahoo --! But we hope to have a bit more today. Our plants and streams really need it!
Have a terrific day -- and keep voting, please!

OMG!!!! STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the delicac of the hydrangeas themselves -- they look like a photo!!! Incredible detail Lin. And again I love love love the way you draw down and "stream" the paint from the leaves and stems. Another beauty.
We had hard rain yesterday morning but not a lot and not for long. Overcast today so expecting more. I'll send it your way!!
Hugs,
