Blue Hydrangea 6x6 oil painting


Day 24 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge
My blue hydrangeas have always been beautiful--until this year. In the spring, I thought I would be really efficient and clean up the garden and get everything fertilized before the company came and spread 150 bales of pine straw. Apparently I broke the rule about fertilizing flowering shrubs AFTER they bloom. The plants didn't have a single bloom this year, but they are greener and healthier than ever! :( Lesson learned. Luckily I have lots of photos from previous years.
This painting is SOLD!
