Autumn Hydrangeas
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.

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. :)
