| August oil/canvas 16 x 20 x .5 |
floral displays include a profusion of hydrangeas....all sorts, all sizes and many colors. The blooms are grand...some larger than a human head. Nature is most mysterious.
This canvas was toned with a light wash of red brown. The painting was done from life with the blooms on a table before me. When finished (is it ever?), I was overwhelmed with the darkness of it all and I just couldn't live with it.
My own sense of artistic "correctness" has evolved greatly over the years. Given that, I decided to create some hydrangea stripes,, making the resultant shapes more interesting, I think.
I am pleased. FOR NOW.
