True blue
The blue hues of hydrangeas, they are captivating! This piece is created using acrylic paint on canvas (16.5 x 23.3 inches). In my previous post ‘Blooming Lovely!’, I drew and painted some blue hydrangeas using oil pastel and watercolour.
I think the colours are stunning! I like pink and white hydrangeas, but blue is by far my favourite colour.
I admire how their colours change as the flowers become older. Sometimes the blue becomes tinted with pink, sometimes green. It depends on your soil's mineral content and pH level, I’ve had flowers change colour from year to year.

I hope you enjoyed this piece of work and that it gave you the same sense of peace it gave me when I painted it.
Follow my work @opheliafu
Reminds me of Monnet! Seriously!
I did get influenced by Monet after a visit to Giverny. I'm glad you picked this up.
I love impressionism.
Nice paintings. You don't stop to surprise people! I like that.
Boo! I'm glad I surprise you ;D
true blue, true flowers, true flowers
Mesmerising! Thank you for sharing.
@opheliafu, your flowers are much more beautiful than my
Hydrangeas are hands down my favorite flower! I love how you really captured the brilliance of their colors! Hydrangea are never one solid shade, moreso differents hues of color, and you did a beautiful job of showing that in your painting!
I really like their colours in Autumn, when they start to fade. Plus they lasts for weeks in a vase, and are beautiful even when dried.
I agree! It was funny, last night after I saw this post, the next one I read was completely unreleated, and had a picture of hydrangeas in it- which also was relevant to the topic of the post. I've started to take those kind of syncronties as messages- it almost seems more likely then the likelihood of that randomly happening.
Spooky! Maybe you need to be planting hydrangeas, they are calling you!!
Lol yes, maybe that is it. I discovered one in the previously uncared for flower bed when we moved here, maybe it needs some company. I would love to have more!
As always - excellent work! Thx.
Thank you very much, :D

These are stunning @opheliafu! Blue hydrangeas are part of my wedding bouquet!
I used blue ones in my maid of honours bouquet, and green and white in mine. Hydrangeas were the theme on my wedding tables. Love them!
It's awesome. I like these colours so much!
Thank you @Kibela, I'm glad you enjoyed the colours in my work.
