Hydrangeas Redux

 

Hydrangeas in Autumn, A Work in Process, 24"x36"

After almost 3 months of preparing other works for shows, I returned to Hydrangeas in Autumn.  I've adjusted the size and color of the leaves to present a more balanced composition.  Currently, I'm working from the background forward.  I'm about 1/2 way across the panel from the left working only those forms and shapes that sit in back of another shape.  My House Critic today questioned why I would depict dying sections on some leaves.  I just replied the Dutch were speaking to me from the past.
