Bouquet of Loveliness (blue hydrangeas, stocks and other stuff from my mom's garden)

This is a study of a flower bouquet that will show up in a portrait of my grandmother.

It's an acrylic painting on four laminated wood blocks. This was my first time experimenting with clear acrylic painting medium.

I like how the yellow/orange from the wood peeks through the translucent acrylic medium.... along with the blue tracing lines. Here's a couple of the blocks in detail.

Experiments = Nice surprises

CHEERS!
