Blue Hydrangeas are among my favorite flowers so I was delighted with the request to paint them on a Lazy Susan.\u00a0 Real Hydrangeas bushes often have blossoms in a variety of stages of blooming so I like to paint them to reflect that. The mottled greenish yellow background seems to glow with sunlight.\u00a0 Even though the butterfly looks real enough to take off in flight, I did not want it to compete for center stage, therefore I chose the subtly charming Western Tailed Blue butterfly for my signature insect. The edges of the discs are painted in gold and a pretty periwinkle blue.<\/p>\n

The Lazy Susan was provided by the client.\u00a0 It was unfinished, and of such a fine quality, that I could not resist painting on the intended underside as well. \u00a0 I did a little faux work making it appear as if the small bottom disc were a china plate and I painted this Hydrangea in a style one might see on a dinner plate.\u00a0\u00a0 There is also a simple design on the yellow portion that shows of the underside of the top disc.<\/p>\n
