My pink Hydrangeas are blooming! There are never very many blooms because the previous owners planted it in the shady the north side of the house, but this year I really will only have about 7 blooms. Darn! When painting this pink and trying to get a bright pink I had to get out a tube of Quinacridone red which is not made from a mineral and therefore when you mix it with white it is brighter or rather a more clear pink. For instance when you mix white with Alizarin Crimson it is pink but it is a grayer pink because it is from a mineral. I find that many flower colors like Gerber Daisies are bright and you need to use modern colors like thalo and colors that are not mineral. That is all I know for today!
