Abstract Hydrangea Highlights

7x5 alcohol inks on Yupo synthetic paper done recently. As this reminded me of a floral, actually a stained glass one, it was titled as an hydrangea.

Midnight Hydrangeas

5x8 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper completed in 2009 that is now SOLD.  For two days I've been painting hydrangeas inspired by new ones blooming by my front door and was reminded of these in an old metal bucket, one of my favorites.
