Playing Catch Up - 'Hydrangeas'




The camera is fixed now so I'm playing 'catch up'...photographing & posting the paintings I've completed since I returned home. I also need to re-photograph and post the rest of the collages I did at Cill Rialaig....

The first painting is one of a few hydrangeas I painted on June 23rd. It's oil on paper. While painting with oil on paper is not new to me, I saw the work of artist Valerie Lane while I was in Ireland, and it rekindled my interest in working on paper...thanks Valerie! I have LOTS of watercolor paper and as I seldom work in watercolor these days I decided it would be sensible to give it a try .....these hydrangeas are the first and I must say, I've really enjoyed using oils in this way!
