Blue Hydrangea 8″x8″ Oil Painting
This will be a short post due to time constraints (I must paint!) but I love this little painting. Purple never seems to work (that’s what my galleries tell me) but how can you say this painting doesn’t work. It’s fantastic! Once again I am stunned at how well the painting is done at such a small size. Apparently M Collier at a high level for a very long time.
What I like about the painting “Blue Hydrangea”
- #1. Drawing - I don’t normally like very detailed realism but there is something about Collier work that attracts me and one of these things is the skill involved in the drawing.
- #2. Compositional depth - My eye moves through this painting instead of being stagnant.
- #3. Color - As I mentioned in the introduction purple can be a killer in paintings but not in this one!
Look and Enjoy!
