Hydrangea Heaven

As many of you know my absolute favorite flower is the Hydrangea.  It has been a main inspiration for my art and I never tire of drawing them.  There are over 75 different species of this plant and I adore them all.  They seem to transform in every stage of growth and I find them beautiful even as they start to die and turn brown.  The past winter was harsh in new England and many of these plants didn't bloom.  I still managed to get a bunch of pictures though!  Here are a few of my favorites from this year.

These blooms are as big as my head!!

This variety is called "Pinky Winky" ;-)

Some of the coolest ones I've seen and probably because they are from my Mothers garden which is quite MAGICAL! A moth landed on my hand while I was taking this pic which I think proves it's magic ;-)

I love when they make a perfect round ball.

The classic Blue Hydrangea

Some more from my Moms magical garden. Even this little bee is admiring their beauty!

Took this pic in Washington DC at the the Botanical Garden

These ones are from my Garden :-)

Imaj Salon and my Art

I just love this floral embellished door and velvet hot pink chair at Imaj Salon in Washington DC.  Also my drawing looks so perfect hanging on the wall between them!  If you are in the DC area stop by for a mani/pedi or haircut or just swing by to check out my art on display!! This is the best salon I have ever been to!  I fly there from Boston to get my hair done not only because I have family that works there but because I don't trust anyone else with my hair! www.imajhairsalon.com

Under the Sea

I have been working on some fun and colorful watercolors this summer.   As you can tell by these paintings I have been inspired by the sea and the beautiful creatures that live in it.  I also have been hand embellishing these prints with swarovski crystals and sequins.  When the light hits these prints they sparkle like crazy! The pictures don't do them justice. 
They are available for purchase as prints and cards here! 

Fairy Blue

Just added this original mixed media drawing to my shop, she is looking for a good home!
