Hydrangea

8”x10”

Watercolor & Gouache on Birch Panel

This painting is a focused study of a hydrangea, emphasizing structure, repetition, and form. Each petal is outlined individually, highlighting how many small parts come together to create a single, dense bloom. The leaves provide contrast and balance, grounding the composition and giving the flower a sense of weight.

The simplified background removes any specific setting, keeping the attention on the plant itself. Visible line work and layered washes show the process and allow imperfections to remain part of the finished piece. Rather than aiming for strict realism, the work reflects close observation and time spent with the subject.
