Thank you SO much, Bonnie! Hollyhocks are one of my favorite garden flowers, particularly the old fashioned variety pictured here. They come in an array of colors, so keep checking to see a few more variations soon! Thank you for your lovely comments. Jeanne
Jeanne - an amazing painting. So precise yet having a wonderfully soft overall texture so perfect for your subject matter. I enjoy the abstraction of this painting, and it's sense of being large in spite of its tiny size. Marie
Thank you SO much, Marie! What a wonderful observation. For years I'd noticed a lovely tension when cropping the compositions of my larger more elaborate paintings and this Little Gem was actually inspired by such a process. The hollyhocks are a perennial favorite, no pun intended! Jeanne
