Blue Hydrangeas in Clay Pot

20x16 watercolor on Arches 140 lb cold press paper, drawn and painted from life. Although blue now they'll turn pink in our alkaline soil.

I love your Hydrangeas Kay. I always admire this flower but when I think how many petals there to paint it makes me feel dizzy ;).
You did a very good job.
Thank you,
Irina

I guess this is only part of your painting, if not it's a shame you ran out of paper for the subject.
