When visiting my brother and his wife in May, there in their beautiful 

backyard I spotted this beautiful blue hydrangea. The sun

was casting this deep green shadow and the blue of this 

flower was so vibrant. 

I took a photo of it and painted it in my studio when we got home. I also have blue 

hydrangeas in my yard and after looking at my hydrangeas and

then my painting, I realized the flower wasn't blue enough and 

made it bluer. They are very blue.
