In this part of Brittany we get very few autumnal colours on the trees, mainly because the leaves get burnt by the salty air and dry and die before they get a chance to go golden. However we are blessed with a multitude of hydrangeas all turning from their bright summer pinks and blues to deep reds and pale greens and all shades in between. I've recently drawn this one as a birthday card for my Mother in law who loves the autumn colours.
Oh my, Valerie, this is stunning! And I had no idea about autumn where you are, thank you for giving us a window to your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteadorable!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Valerie!
ReplyDeleteLovely and almost velvety
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always :)
ReplyDeleteI remember lots of hydrangeas on the East Coast (of USA) when I used visit my grandmother. Now I realize they were common there because of their hardiness. Yours is a beautiful painting of them.
ReplyDeleteThis is very lovely. I'm sure your mother-in-law will be delighted!
ReplyDeleteWhat an exquisite drawing, Valerie! I am sure your mother loved the gift. :)
