Pink Hydrangeas (Oil Bar Painting as of Oct. 26, 2017)


This is the little oil bar painting I have been working on, a work in progress.  This is part of my "Branches" series, in this case a branch of hydrangeas turning pink.  My reference is a photo that I took in early September.  Still coughing so I limited my time on this again today, but I feel like I accomplished something.  I added a blossom on the upper left of the canvas, adjusting the composition to get a diagonal line.  Then I added touches of yellow to the blossoms, and put down some light green where sunlit leaves are going to be, and blocked in some light blue where I want to see sky.  I added a bit more purple shadow to some of the blossoms. . .and then it was time to stop.
