Additional Information

Influence:

This piece emulates my love of the beautiful Hydrangea and of creating art through paint. Hydrangeas have been a part of my garden for many year and as much as I love them in the garden, they are equally delightful in a vase.

Throughout history the hydrangea has been especially significant in Japan, where many believe the flower originated. According to a Japanese legend, the hydrangea became associated with heartfelt emotion, gratitude for understanding, and apology after a Japanese emperor gave them to the family of the girl he loved to make up for neglecting her in favour of business and show how much he cared about her. Pink hydrangeas are especially associated with genuine emotion because their shape resembles a beating heart.

This is my interpretation of this magnificent bloom in blues and violet. Artistic licence gives my the “permission” to slightly tweak the colours to add a more dramatic effect. Designed for contemporary or traditional settings, this piece will add a WOW factor to wherever its hung.
