Hydrangea in NY Times
24 x 30 in (h x w)
not for sale

Upon approaching this piece my goal was to challenge myself by rendering a variety of textures, starting with the background by giving it a sense of atmosphere and space behind the subject. I especially enjoyed painting the old toolbox. The contrast of the weathered surface compared to the subtle softness of the hydrangea was inspiring. When attempting to execute the folds and lettering of the newspaper, I definitely felt challenged. I saw the newspaper as a bridge between the rough surface of the box and lightness of the hydrangea. I thoroughly enjoyed painting this piece and I am extremely pleased with the outcome.
