Hydrangea Flower Painting Monet the soft falls touched with

the soft falls touched with golden-bronze beards that draw the eye to their velvety hearts

its black-tipped feathers spread to brake the air and its coral-red bill and legs glowing against a bright summer sky

each petal so thinly lit from behind that the light seems to pass right through it

This delicate watercolour distils a quiet shoreline into the gentlest of washes

Hydrangea Flower Painting Monet the soft falls touched withThis bright, painterly image presents a full hydrangea bush in flower, its rounded heads clustered in tender pink, lilac and powder blue with buttery yellow centres. Sturdy green leaves with clearly drawn veins cradle the blooms in the foreground, while behind them a soft focus garden glows with more colour and warm light. The petals are rendered with a slightly idealised, almost illustrative finish, giving the scene a cheerful, storybook freshness.
