More about this artwork
The painting depicts a cluster of hydrangea flowers stationed prominently in the forefront. The hydrangeas are painted in rich shades of blue and violet, each petal outlined with delicate white lines that highlight their star-shaped forms. Surrounding these vibrant blooms are large, textural leaves in deep shades of green, each showing detailed veins that add a realistic touch. The background features parts of a traditional Japanese structure, hinted at by a gently curving wooden beam and a vertical white column, both fostering a serene and harmonious setting.
