My daughter has a lace cap hydrangea bush in her back yard. I took a bloom home and used my watercolors to try to capture the wonderful colors. I'm just starting to do some watercolors without using pen and ink. It's fun to get back into this more traditional way of painting. This is a 9" by 12".

This is just beautiful.
Gorgeous. I'm not sure I've ever seen that variety of hydrangea.
Your painting is gorgeous! I love the way you used the colors - it's just stunning! nancy
This is so beautiful! I really like the painting in the previous post too.
ooooh beautiful colour once again!!
Lovely, just lovely!
Thanks for all of your encouraging comments... I love the colors of hydrangea blooms and their subtle shades. This lace cap was particularly delicate with the colors of the little buds in the center.
One word : EXCELLENT! :)
This is incredibly lovely! You have a wonderful eye for detail, Elizabeth!
Hydrangeas are difficult! You did a great job.
