.Hydrangeas.



Hydrangeas 
8x6' oil primed linen on panel   SOLD


Artist Note.
I recently moved and a good friend
brought over a magnificent
Hydrangea plant. Another friend brought
me a Calla Lily plant
so I was in hog heaven painting
both of them. 

This was a class demo and went
 much easier than the first one!

      It was good to read your dog was on the mend but I REALLY enjoyed seeing your sketchbook.

  2. As always, love this painting. Now, when I walk outside and down the front stairs, (usually go through the garage) I'll think of you.

    1. Love to think of you when I look at the Bonnie's feathers, and how neat to know you will be thinking of me.
      Hope the healing process is coming along well and you are doing as instructed!
