So hydrangeas used to be my favorite flower, until I spent several weeks of my life staring at each individual petal until I practically went blind. This is the second installment of my hydrangea paintings. This time I set my still life up in an antique crock from one of my husband grandmothers. Even though I have spent a tremendous amount of time with hydrangeas lately, I still love them. I'm having trouble coming up with a title, so I'm enlisting all of your help. If you have any ideas please leave a comment here or on facebook and share your titles. I used to always make fun of paintings in museums with obvious names, but I now understand. By the time you are done painting, you are creatively drained. So as of now they are Hydrangeas in a blue crock, please, I beg you help me come up with something more imaginative.
I also have a dilemma every time I paint a picture, maybe a fear more than a dilemma, where and how to sign my name. I thought it was a really silly fear, but when I went to the Paul Jackson workshop he said that he plans his signature into his composition and masks it out. So this time I did just that. I like this idea, and will do it from now on.

Steven got back into the swing of things this week and did an 11 x 14 canvas. The largest one he's done so far. He did a lovely job!
