Hortensia macrophylla Nachtigall

Watercolour on Fabriano Uno 300 g hot-pressed
60 x 80 cm

First time I first saw this kind of hydrangea I just flipped; had to have one for my garden in France! Unfortunately a hybrid like this needs much more care than I could ever give it, being away for 9 months of the year. So, sadly

no "nightingale" for my garden...
But then I decided to do the next best thing..... paint it!

I like the little flowers side by side with the bib ones. Beautiful! I like this "tighter" style of yours
