"Hot Pink Hydrangeas in Glass Jar", 12" x 12", Original Watercolor Painting. This painting is in my own impressionistic style using Holbein transparent watercolor paints. It was painted on Arches 140 lb. Artist Watercolor Paper. I love to paint flowers, whether it be roses, hydrangeas or any variety of spring flowers. These Hot Pink Hydrangeas remind me of some on the northern side of my Grandparents home which wrapped around the front porch. I always think of these affectionately as "Grandma Flowers" when I see that beautiful poof of color. I had such fun painting these and with Hydrangeas it is a push pull thing to work then enough to take on the look of a Hydranges without being overworked. I think I was able to capture the middle ground here without being overworked. Nothing worse than an overworked watercolor. As a child I asked how come some are pink and some blue..to which I was told the correct answer of it being due to the iron and feed content of each plant. This makes me wonder about the white ones, as if are they anemic? Hope not but probably the nurse guestion in me. This painting is available and will be shipped FREE within the continental USA. I hope you enjoy. Thanks, Eleanor
