Dried hydrangeas by Marjorie Firth

Oh, this is a beauty, I LOVE it Marjorie.

How quick is that?! Thanks Heather. I remember I started this ages ago in grisaille and added glazes, I was amazed at the colour I ended up with. Today, though, it was just alla prima.

It’s a beautiful painting Marjorie, the flower heads are a beautiful colour.

I just love the colours

I love it too, Marjorie, really beautiful. So many things I like... just to mention one less obvious to the eye: the colour variations & texture on the background and the shadow

Good colour harmony Marjorie. That wall shadow increases the sense of depth.

Thank you very much Paul, Julie, Federico and John. I do love hydrangeas…I’ve painted them many times.

Those shades of purple are lovely.

Gorgeous colour on your hydrangeas Marjorie, and a good idea to tweak an oldie!

Lovely work...love the palette.

Beautiful painting Marjorie.

This is beautiful work Marjorie, lovely colours and composition.

There is something so appealing and satisfying about painting dried Hydrangea flowers. A beautiful arrangement and painting Marjorie.

Love the colour composition Marjorie

I so admire your sophisticated palette here Marjorie. It has a wonderful elegance about it.

Well thank you for all your generous and lovely comments! It’s certainly gee’d me up!😄

Terrific painting Marjorie, love the subtle reflection on the wooden surface and that shadow is perfect.

Love the gentle, soft colour harmony.

Thank you Hilary and Russell.

Very Nicely Done!

So beautiful! I love the colours, tones and textures. Composition spot on.

Beautiful fresh painting

Thanks again Skylar, Diane and Cecilia.😄

This is lovely - I really like the softness and harmony of your colours.

Beautiful soft colours Marjorie.

Absolutely beautiful, your colors are wonderful because they evoke a sense of natural beauty.

Thank you Bobbie, Sandra and Lea.😄
