Brought my paints with me up to the Cape and painted the hydrangea blossoms outside behind the condo.  It was a long process because I was trying very hard to make it as realistic as possible, especially the colors.  I was reasonable pleased with the color but the depth was lacking and the whole thing still looks rather flat.  At least when my cousin looked at it, she recognized it as a hydrangea. I feel like I want to paint freer but that I am holding myself back.  What is up with that.  I’m fearful that I will just buy lots of supplies in preparation for painting, but never actually do it.
