Hydrangea Flower Painting Monet energises a home-office wall

energises a home-office wall

monochrome or warmly furnished rooms alike

unhurried calm that captures the hush of dusk in the wild

its black-tipped feathers spread to brake the air and its coral-red bill and legs glowing against a bright summer sky

It evokes wide Californian streets and unhurried afternoons under endless sunshine

Hydrangea Flower Painting Monet energises a home-office wallThis bright, painterly image presents a full hydrangea bush in flower, its rounded heads clustered in tender pink, lilac and powder blue with buttery yellow centres. Sturdy green leaves with clearly drawn veins cradle the blooms in the foreground, while behind them a soft focus garden glows with more colour and warm light. The petals are rendered with a slightly idealised, almost illustrative finish, giving the scene a cheerful, storybook freshness.
