Hydrangeas are blooming! There is something irresistible about hydrangeas AND a white picket fence. They pull heartstrings as nothing else. So romantic and nostalgic. It doesn't matter whether your mother's garden had these. I do have a white picket fence; I have a small pink hydrangea bush. But they are separated by a lawn and driveway!
So, during the hydrangea season, I haunt the Green Spring Garden's Park in Alexandria, VA, which is just a stone's throw from my place. The gazebo, which I have painted a gazillion times, is surrounded by a white picket fence. When hydrangeas bloom, it looks even prettier. For the past few weeks I checked the growth of the hydrangeas several times to make sure that I wouldn't miss them at their peak. My patience was rewarded at last. You will be seeing more of hydrangea paintings!
By the way, the winner of the print of "Summer Garden" is Sandra Land. Congratulations! I would like to thank 50 fans and followers who participated in the drawing. I will be giving away an original painting in early July. So stay tuned!

Love the light playing against the fence. Perfect values with no harshness. I need to work on that.
ReplyDeleteAre you talking about edges? Handling edges is A LOT harder in watercolor and you do a great job. Thanks, Jo!
