This plaque is a winter scene with dried pale blossoms clinging to the branches without bright colors or green leaves. It is the fourth in a series of Hydrangeas painted in various seasons. These blossoms are beautiful at every stage of life! The pagoda reflecting in the water adds an interesting element. I could not put an insect or bird into the painting as it would be inappropriate for wintertime so the bee is on the reverse side by my signature!
The last in the series of Hydrangea plaques has the brightness of spring colors against a darker background with clusters of leaves. A Hummingbird and a Ladybug are visiting the pale blooms. This piece is about 6″ across.
Sometimes commissions come in clusters requesting the same subject matter; this winter it was plaques with Hydrangeas. With the first one I was inspired by the colors Hydrangeas morph into come the autumn. There is a Honey bee coming by to visit. This piece is about 6″ across.
This second plaque in the series has a bright sunny background and is a little larger than the first one, at about 9″ across. I chose to put a little Hummingbird off to the left and a Lady bug on a leaf. This design is joyous with the abundance of blooms on the bush in many stages of color morphing.
