Lace Cap Hydrangeas and a Lees Summit Workshop
During my Lees Summit workshop, we painted beautiful Lace Cap Hydrangeas thanks to blooms brought by a master gardener, with Rose of Sharon clippings adding charm. Between chocolate taste tests, fly fishing lessons, and generous hospitality, this vibrant four-day event wraps up tomorrow with wild red poppies.

Lace Cap Hydrangeas
20X20
Class Demonstration, Lees Summit, Missouri
Oil on Deep Gallery Wrap Canvas
Lace Cap Hydrangeas was my class demonstration this morning in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Master gardener Mary Medley brought a bucket filled with hydrangeas to class, and I couldn’t resist painting the entire setup—rustic bucket and all. The studio models were wearing violets in cool and warm shades and had a bit of backup help from fresh Rose of Sharon clippings provided by Sherry Halfast. This was my only four-day workshop this year, and tomorrow we’ll wrap up the festivities with wild red poppies on canvas. Stay tuned for more color to come!
In the meantime, we had a chocolate taste-testing contest last night. Those who successfully identified the more expensive chocolate-covered almonds (as compared to the store brand) won a free brush! *Woohoo!* This evening, a few of us got fly-fishing lessons on the lake right after dinner. Thanks so much to our hostess, Jennylynne Gragg, for cooking for everyone—we’re getting just a bit spoiled here in Missouri!
The studio models take a purple bow and a fuchsia dip!
