I was inspired to paint ” blue hydrangeas" after I visited my cousins in France. The Pyrenees countryside “in southwest France is breathtakingly beautiful, and I had never seen such hydrangeas flourished. I had never seen such a wild profusion of colors! My cousins’ beloved grandmother strode gracefully into The beautifully aged, high ceiling 14 room charming family house was at Vieux-Boucau, with both arms laden with of a profusion of freshly-picked hydrangeas! She proceeded to decorate all of the halls and rooms. Amazing! “ bvw
