Black Hollyhocks II


Black Hollyhocks II
Original Watercolor Painting

This is another from the series of hollyhocks I painted in my new home in Little Rock, AR. When I saw these beauties growing in my neighbor's yard. This was the first time I had ever seen them up close. Of course I ran back to the house, grabbed my camera, and began taking reference photos so I wouldn't lose a bloom.
This painting is the result of that experience.

As a child we had hollyhocks growing outside my bedroom window. They evoke many pleasant memories. Your painting depicts them very well. Love your site.
