'Secret Garden' 8x10 pastelThe hydrangeas have been beautiful this year. Even my poor neglected backyard bushes have done well. But the most wonderful hydrangeas were the ones I saw last July on Nantucket Island. They were everywhere! I couldn't walk down the street without snapping photos of the wonderful gardens. I finally had a chance to paint them. This pastel is 8x10 on Uart paper with an alcohol wash underpainting. I also used two of my Terry Ludwig confetti pastels, one was blue and one was purple. I had fun with this!

This is so beautifully rendered, It appears effortlessly rendered. It has a nice soft touch.
I am a sucker for hydrangeas, especially when they are in a gorgeous painting as yours Karen!! FABULOUS!!
Thank you Roxanne! I appreciate your comment!
Thank you Katie, I think the underpainting is what helped this one!
