Blue Hydrangeas
The french gîte we are currently staying in has beautiful blue hydrangeas in its garden, I have noticed hydrangeas growing all around the Brittany region in a variety of wonderful colours.
After a cup of coffee I spent the afternoon painting these lovely blue flowers. There seemed to be a range of blue and purple hues across the plants, even different colours on the same flower head.

Wow, those flowers are absolutely beautiful, both visually and by name. I'm assuming from your post that you are currently visting my country, France. I hope you'll enjoy your stay!

How long does it take to make a work like this?)

To be honest I lose track of time and make it in stages (waiting for paint layers to dry) so I couldn't say for sure.

From the first sight it looks simple. But when i look closely they change to blue pearls.
Even though i like drawings with details - i keep observing your painting a lot.
Hmmm.. strange

Very nice artwork. We used to have pink hydrangeas. I was told we could make them turn blue by treating the soil, but I never tried.

Oh yes, you can change the colours.

Ooh your blue hydrangeas are so sweet ! I have blue ones in my garden that over time are colored pink, which give flowers going from blue to pink passing by very nice tones of mauve ! ^_^ But blue hydrangeas are very typical to Brittany, that's why I love them so much, as I adore Brittany ;-)
upvoted and resteemed they are my dear !
Yours are gorgeous,

The ones at our home in the UK are pink and white, I have planted blue but they always change to pink.

Yes they need a specific care to maintain the blue : make regular intake of alum, and every year a supply of heather soil that will maintain the acidity of the soil. @opheliafu ^_^

Have they stayed the original colour?

Not really. It is pinker, related with the PH value of the soil. But I didn't do the soil test.

This type of flower is beautiful. I have a garden of hydrangeas. In my country the translation of the name is "hortensias".
