Description
This fall foliage macro highlights the textures and natural patterns of dried mophead hydrangea leaves. Also called Endless Summer, this variety blooms for several months, but the real surprise for me came with the realization that not only do the flowers dry beautifully for use in indoor winter arrangements, but the strong vein networks of the leaves are also endlessly fascinating.
I offer two other variations of this abstract from nature. A grouping of the three pieces makes a lovely triptych; I suggest this image for use on the right. I have also created a composite of the three, available as a single print or canvas. You can all of these images in my Leaves gallery.

These are stunning, Nikolyn! To me, no one of the 3 outshines the other. Another example of your great eye and technique.

Such beautiful textures and I love your composition. Never tired or perfectly in the corner.. too smart for that.. just gorgeous, but I expect nothing less.

I love the plants - they bloom repeatedly and I enjoy them in the yard as well as in the house. Thanks for the comment.
