Haiku May 24, 2012 Hydrangea

Big, bold, lacy, blue

Composite globes of color

Hydrangea blooms!

Art Prescription:  This time of year everything is busting out! With lots of “April Showers Brings May Flowers,” we have a garden to delight the senses. Today I cut a big vase full of blue hydrangea blossoms, some as big as a football. Hydrangeas are composite flowers, which means each big blossom is made up of hundreds of small flowers, all coming together in color and shape to make a bold statement. Here is a hydrangea I painted a couple of years ago. Tomorrow I will paint a BIG BOLD LOOSE WATERCOLOR! Stay tuned…
