Summer Hydrangeas

Lush hydrangeas in shades of lavender, dusty rose and soft violet fill the canvas.  Against a layered ground of warm gold, pink and vibrant green the blooms feel abundant yet fleeting: The beauty of a southern garden at the height of summer, just as it's colors begin to soften.  Expressive brushwork and unexpected touches of color give this traditional floral subject a contemporary spirit, while the generous compostion celebrates the romantic, imperfect beauty of flowers gathered from the garden.
