Hyacinths in January #104

 


     I remember these being one of the first blooms of spring.  I have a variety of them that come up some time, maybe around May... How do they get these into the stores in January?   Maybe they grow them and force the plants in greenhouses.... I do not know, but I loved painting them !
     I'm just getting finished with my painting for the challenge today.... whew... just made it !

    Sandy, this is beautiful. Understated but strong enough to be believable.

    You Pulled this off Beautifully! Hyacinths are hard to paint. Also like your pops of red underpainting.
