Hydrangeas are in Bloom, A Work in Progress

 

Hydrangeas in Blue Vase

The hydrangeas are in bloom. As always, I'm seduced.  I'm also in mourning for my beautiful cobalt aquamarine vase that I have always used to paint hydrangeas.  I clumsily knocked it against an unforgiving object and cracked it.  Still in solid form I'm afraid to fill it with water less it shatter.  This vase is four sided and filled with various blues and reflections.  I found the shape to be more traditional but not as lovely as the cobalt sphere.  ðŸ˜¢

Baltimore Oriole, 2022, Oil on Panel, 8"x8"

I'm in a bit of a painters block. As such I've resorted to old reliables.  I can get engaged just with the color.
