June is hydrangea season in South Carolina and the recent showers are keeping them well hydrated. My cousin Pat offered me this lush bouquet from her yard to model for a painting. I used a mixed media technique starting with a panel textured with acrylic medium and combining acrylic paints, charcoal, and pastels.
As a floral gift, hydrangeas can carry a variety of meanings. I prefer to think of them as symbols of gratitude and thanksgiving. I’m grateful for verdant gardens, generous gardeners, and art-loving readers. Thanks for your friendship!
