Pick Me- Blue Hydrangea.... a wee break from the leaves.

Just completed this morning...

Pick Me, Blue Hydrangea.
Acrylic on Board
​1220 x 900 mm

​I had so much fun painting this, esp with the weather being fine allowing me to paint in my backyard "studio".

As this piece developed it made me think of the program The Bachelor currently screening on TV. All these beauties fighting for the spotlight and waiting to be chosen in a somewhat  artificial and heavily directed way.  I also only used 2 different paints to create this work so  created depth movement and complexity from what is essentially a 2 dimensional offering...... Anyway, go Naz!  (I say Naz because she is the only name I know from the media headlines).

I do love Hydrangeas. They remind me of my childhood and both my grandparent's gardens. I now live in a property that has 5 stunning Hydrangea bushes growing happily.

oh and its for sale (just in time for mother's day!) email me if your interested.... lmcfetridge@xtra.co.nz
