Wild Abandon Hydrangeas by Nancy Medina 16X20 Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Purchase Information Nancy Medina Web Site Wild Abandon is a new hydrangea painting on the easel in the studio today. I've been working on a 48X48 hydrangea commission this week, and wanted to see how quickly I could produce a small hydrangea before washing the brushes at the end of the day. This painting was started at 9 pm, and finished around 11:05 pm (I think my paintbrushes enjoy working by moonlight). I worked with a very large 3/4 inch brush to produce big, loose, fast strokes of color. Less is more with hydrangeas, and they are one of my favorite flowers because they have a tendency to do as they please. You can see the progression on my art blog - these flowers are blooming in my garden this week, and rain is coming this weekend, so I'm looking forward to new blossoms from them soon! Here's the scoop on my flower painting workshops!
