Details below.
I shot the photo reference for this painting a few years back in Ocean City, MD, and thought it would be really difficult. But it came smoothly off my brushes, don't ask me why. Really important decisions at the beach, like when do you feel like eating? The man seems to be thinking about something, and turning to his wife, who's busy reading...
White Hydrangea Two
Oils on Stretched Canvas, 11" x 14"
SOLD at $65.00 plus shipping.
This, I think, is more to the spirit of the white hydrangeas of my concept. Lovely blues and lavenders, soft greys to indicate the shadows, and I'm pleased with it. Nice bright white to make a sunlit feeling. This one is available.
White Hydrangeas One
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 12"
SOLD at $65.00 plus shipping.
I have an interesting request in the works for a white hydrangea. The trick with white is always what other colors to use to make enough contrast for the white to "read" as white. Contrast works, but you don't want too much. Here I tried to use a soft greyish green, some very light lavender, and touches of pink to make the shapes of the blooms. I used a palette knife for the leaves, a nice little change for me. I do plan to do another one, or maybe a couple more.

Tiny Cradled Iris
Oil on Cradled Board, 6" x 6"
SOLD at $20.00 plus $5.00 shipping.
This one is very small, on the cradled board that my collectors seem to like. The edges are painted, a continuation of the iris on the front. No need for framing. It would be a nice little corner painting.
New England Glow
Oil on Stretched Canvas, 12" x 16"
SOLD at $75.00 plus shipping.
New England maples, or I guess maples anywhere, turn such glorious colors in the fall. I am very happy with this one, and still thinking fall color. Except for the weather getting cooler, I can't wait for the color changes here in Maryland.
