"Hydrangea Blues, Too" oil 36" x 18" SOLD
Thank to my extremely patient patrons, who saw this in progress (I won't say how long ago) and waited patiently until it was ready. If it's blue, it must be a boy!
Resolving to develop better habits in 2011:
AAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhh.......... I'm not going to get the blues looking at this one.
ReplyDeleteJust so beautiful R !
Great blues.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to copy your Paint First sign idea!
Wow! So beautiful! Your patrons will think the wait was worth it. Pay close attention to your sign.
ReplyDeleteI had never seen a hydrangea until I moved to New England. I couldn't believe the unbelievable shade of blue the flowers were, which you have captured perfectly in your painting. The format works great as well.
ReplyDeleteBlue hydrangeas are one of my very favorite flowers. I remember a pool I would visit often as a child had huge bushes lining the fence line. What a gorgeous site. Thank you for evoking such warm and fun memories with this beautiful painting!hugs!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThe light on the petals and the transparency in the leaves in this painting are just wonderful!

ReplyDeleteLove these blossoms as much as I do the ones I own. I grew up with these in our front yard in Brooklyn NY. they were the only relief from the cement of the city life. Great job, R!

Wow R! Here hydrangeas are also called Christmas flowers because they are in full bloom right now. The intense blue of these is incredible and I love the way you've caught the light on them so perfectly. Gosh, but you're good!
ReplyDeleteDo you have copyright on that sign in front of your computer? I need one like that!
Hi Liz,
ReplyDeleteNope, no copyright-- so anyone who wants to print out a "PAINT FIRST" sign for yourself, go right ahead and let me know if it helps! It seems to be helping me!
- R (:
Liz is so right... There's not much else to say, but "Gosh you're good!"
ReplyDeleteI DO like the sign, too... Sooooooooo needed.
I don't usually like hydrangeas, but these are spectacular... ...sigh..... gosh you're good.
beautiful, brilliant, dazzling, excellent, gorgeous, heavenly, impressive, remarkable, spectacular, striking and superior. these adjectives are in alphabetical order because i went to thesaurus.com and typed in stunning! breathtaking as always.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting—calm and inviting blues! (Read all of the above!) I haven't been visiting too many sites lately or posting, since I've seen how easy it is for me to get trapped in the computer time zone. And I REALLY need to paint to improve! 2011 = good work habits! Gotta go paint! Thanks R!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful composition!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect blue painting. And I am repeating others-what a great composition. No wonder it is sold.
ReplyDeletegreat job R.
Incredibly beautiful painting.
ReplyDeletethis is a fantastic painting. How wonderful it's sold already too.
ReplyDeletevery nicely done, i love the the different blue tonalites
ReplyDeleteGreat job R. Garriott with a smell of spring, which is when those born on the tennis court from the garden of the building where I live. With a sublime blue.
ReplyDeleteBetter habits in 2011: I agree, unfortunately I have the same problem.
All the best
It is fabulous!!! Blue hydrangeas are my favorite!! Absolutely stunning:)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning work, R! Congrats on your sale.
ReplyDeleteLOVE these blues.
ReplyDeleteI need to adopt your motto. But here I am on the damn computer.
Love the artwork first! Something I try to remind myself of all the time. My favorite quote is, "the refusal to be creative is self-willing."~Julia Cameron
ReplyDeletehaha! Love the picture of the computer! Very funny. Beautiful Hydrangea's
