Fragile Dance

Hydrangea, at this time one of my favorite flowers. They look like fragile lace at the moment and I love them. I wanted to capture them as it looked like they were dancing. Just by using a small aperture.

I couldn't stop making pictures of them because they look so delicate and transparent. Sometimes the look like the transparent wings of a dragonfly waiting for the wind. Here I show some of my favorite.

A few months ago I got a lovely email from Jaap en Marja Burgers. I know Jaap from the www.zoom.nl site were I upload some foto's. Jaap apparently showed my pictures to Marja who is painting.

The idea was born that she really would love to paint some pictures of mine, so she asked if I was oke with that. I was so surprised. Who can say no to a big compliment like that. She was so enthusiastic and she had 2 favorites which she wanted to paint. Of course I was very curious and exited. You do not often get a change that your photo will be painted.

This week I got an email from Marja that both paintings were finished. And including 2 pictures of the beautiful paintings. I really was stunned. All those lovely details and beautiful colours. I really love them and couldn't wait to share them with you. They are very special to me.
Thank you so much Marja!

The first one is Astrantia Major Ruby. Marja made the painting horizontal,
