Hydrangeas in Morning Light

This intimate still life portrays a simple glass vase filled with delicate blue and white hydrangea blooms, their clustered petals rendered in soft, impressionistic brushstrokes. The transparent container reveals the stems within, while vibrant green leaves frame the blossoms and extend outward, creating a natural contrast against the soft, muted background of pale blues and creams. The painting captures a moment of quiet domesticity, with the artist's gentle handling of light as it passes through both the glass and reflects off the subtle circular surface beneath. There's a charming immediacy to the composition, suggesting these freshly cut flowers were arranged with care and painted with appreciation for their ephemeral beauty.
