Hydrangea - Finished !!

Finished this today, and got it entered in the project on time!!
I'm actually quite pleased as to how it turned out. Have a couple more in mind, larger scale.
The background was an experiment for me, as I usually do a very dark one,
but wanted to play with the light and colors, hoping to give it a lovely airy flair.:)

Hydrangea WIP (work in progress)

One of my favorite flowers, and much beloved by all. This delicate beauty, looks wonderful on the bush, and stands up as a lovely dried flower, in many vases over the years.
I wanted to get into the world inside this flower, one of the few that gives us a true blue color.
I consider this painting a study, for a much larger one I wish to do.
This one is for an artists monthly event at WetCanvas Florals forum.
Not quite finished, as I need to do my shadows, and highlights yet, and post it later today at WetCanvas. But wanted to see if there were any other fixes needed first, and they seem to show up better posted here...........

ROSE BUD

Well, it feels good to be back. Was away for a while.

Painted this delicate Bud last night for the WDE at WetCanvas that goes on every weekend ( if you go HERE and read the stickys at the top of the forum page. It will explain what a WDE is, anyone, member or not can participate they are so much fun to do!!)

It's so good to be painting again. This was done on gallery wrapped canvas, no need to frame, in Acrylics. Many glazes especially on the background to get it to recede. Had fun painting this little gem. What do you think?

More to come. Have two more large paintings on the go right now, more flowers.

PEARS

I was really just playing with paint and textures here. Manipulating the paint to look like oils with layers. Looks like oils to me! Acrylics are amazing.
