Hydrangeas

I am very excited to present a new series of watercolor paintings featuring soft flowing florals and nature overlaid on impressionistic geometric pattern backgrounds! 


This first painting available for purchase is "Hydrangeas". One of the first things I fell in love with here in the Pacific NW were the blue hydrangeas. 


Painted with Daniel Smith watercolor paints, one pigment is Sugilite Genuine, a natural pigment from South Africa. It's a rare opaque mineral ranges from grayish lavendar to pink to deep purple and has a slight graphite sheen. This gives the painting just the slightest bit of sparkle in spots.


It measures 10.75" x 14.75" and is easily matted in a standard mat for an 11x14 picture. 



Available at my Etsy shop The Creators Palette
