Hydrangea Flower Painting Monet The full rainbow palette pairs

The full rainbow palette pairs beautifully with deep charcoal or slate-grey walls

instinct and the wild north into a single commanding image

its black-tipped feathers spread to brake the air and its coral-red bill and legs glowing against a bright summer sky

energises a home-office wall

Hydrangea Flower Painting Monet The full rainbow palette pairsThis bright, painterly image presents a full hydrangea bush in flower, its rounded heads clustered in tender pink, lilac and powder blue with buttery yellow centres. Sturdy green leaves with clearly drawn veins cradle the blooms in the foreground, while behind them a soft focus garden glows with more colour and warm light. The petals are rendered with a slightly idealised, almost illustrative finish, giving the scene a cheerful, storybook freshness.
