Just finished

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

Here is “Pink Hydrangea” again.  I’ve added just a bit more detail and re-photographed it.  This one is more true to the actual color in the painting.  So, now it’s really finished. 
Here's the finished painting, after adding a bit more detail. And, this one is more true to the color of the painting.
“Pink Hydrangeas” c 2012
Watercolor on 300lb cold pressed Arches paper 
  17 1/2″ x 21 1/2″ 

I’ve loved this painting from the very beginning. 

My goal was to keep it looking fresh and colorful.  Staying in the green, blue, pink range, I used subtle changes of hue in each area to achieve a luminescent glow, trying to keep a light and airy look. 

My paintings take quite awhile to finish as I use many layers of color, picking from my favorite transparent staining watercolor hues.

Hope you like it.
