Blue Hydrangea in Progress

Drawing this hydrangea is a comforting process. I hope to finish it this week. It is full of beautiful shapes, colors and the promise of perennial blooming! I read an interesting fact about hydrangeas: you can change the color of this flower if you adjust the pH of the soil.  Perhaps my next hydrangea drawing will  have a higher pH creating warmer colors ♥
