Hydrangea Paintings



Blue Hydrangea Painting
"Blue Beauties"
9x12 Cotton Archival Canvas (3/4 in. depth_
Donated to Church Auction
A little boy bought it for his Mom for Mother's Day (that made me smile)

I am not able to grow blue hydrangeas in Florida but have been able to buy potted plants that will last a season.  A great substitute that I have found for the Hydrangea is the the Seminole Dombeya.  It grows large pink hydrangea like blooms and is a strong and sturdy plant for the South Florida.  In fact, it can take a hard cut back and blooms twice a year.  The bees love the flowers.  Since I can't grown one of my favorite blooming flowers, I often just paint them so I can enjoy the blooms all year long!

Water Lilies on a pond at sunset oil painting

"Twilight Pond" 24x36  Landscape Nature Oil Painting   Gallery Wrapped Canvas 1 3/8" (sides painted black) By: Amber Palomares, Fine Art Palm Beach Gardens Artist The sunset reflections and waterlilies are dancing with light in this coastal painting!   I am inspired by Monet and his impressionist style.  Like Monet, I did not include a horizon line.  The pink flowers are dazzling on the lily pads that are bidding the day farewell as the sun sets in this South Florida marsh.
