Vase Of Hydrangeas

This is a study for a larger painting that I have already started to work on. I wanted to try out this background and see how it compares to the one I am using in the 24 x 24 " version. I will let you know what I decide after I look at both of them for a while.

Hydrangeas In A Pitcher, 8 x 8 " oil on panel, Fay Terry ©2012

This is the completed painting that I began and posted on Friday morning. I completed it this morning while the flowers still looked fresh. It's good that I did because now at the end of the day they have wilted. The pitcher is one of my favorite pieces of pottery and is one that I often use for flowers.

I am still enjoying the Hydrangeas blooming beside the porch and I guess painting them is my way of being thankful that they are still as beautiful as they were all summer. Last year they continued to bloom until December but you never know when they might stop this year.

my birthday month and a great time to shop for gifts.

Apples And Hydrangea

Apples And Hydrangea

This was great fun to paint and I hope to do more of these flowers because my Hydrangea are starting another round of blooms and usually they will keep going until about October.  I'm still looking for more ways to use the green apples and I have an idea for tomorrow so tune in again to see them in a new setting.

Blue Hydrangeas

I picked these flowers early this morning but did not get around to painting them until late in the day.  This was a very quick studio session because someone, who will remain nameless, wanted me to accompany him on a walk with the dogs when he got home from work.  It is not always easy to paint while someone is calling from the bottom of the stairs every two minutes, "Are you ready yet?" And so I painted this and finished before the fifth call.  ( I told you it was fast!)
