of all the abstracts I have done and there must be hundreds (you have only seen a fraction haha) I think this is my very favourite. I adore Hollyhocks and I love this one abstracted. I just wanted to share. hugs

This is for Barry because he wanted to see the Original.
I went for a walk in the yard this morning just as the sun was rising, or trying to through the smoke filled air, and I found this beautiful wild Hollyhock not far from the house. I guess I had missed it earlier….......I hope you enjoy.

“The Blue Door” is a familiar sight in New Mexico against the warm terracotta tones of adobe walls. Hollyhocks add a beautiful touch of color during the summer.
Another idealised English cottage in oils. This is my favourite of the three. /
“Hollyhocks” is the final piece in my small series of paintings inspired by the San Felipe de Neri church. Hollyhocks thrive here in the New Mexico sunshine. I love the bright and varied colors against the earth tones of adobe walls.

This was a beautiful hollyhock. The wind was strong and gusty but was able to capture it just the same.
In my absence this last week from RB and my home…I came home to a wonderful surprise of my Hollyhocks blooming in all their glory!! / Hollyhocks bloom here in the desert mid-May and will continue blooming through the Summer, you can cut back between blooming cycles and they will bloom again… /

Picket Fences and Garden Gates are so magical to me. My first memory of them are when I was very young and my grandmother had her little garden surrounded with this pristine white picket fence. As I walked through the gate, I was greeted with the heavenly fragrance of roses and there stood these most amazing tall flowers called Hollyhocks. They were taller than I was with these individual flowers that traveled around the sturdy upright stalk. But I think the name alone was magic to me. Hollyhocks! HOLLYHOCKS! Isn’t that just music to your ears? Grandmother showed me the little seed packet that had held these tiny orbs that grew into these amazing flowers. She explained to me how the sun and the rain nourished the seeds until they popped out of their shell and began their journey to become one of the most amazing flowers I have ever seen in my life. Now, whenever I see a white pickets and rose bushes, I think of my Grandmother, but also I know that some of the most beautiful treasures grow inside of that protective… and visually poetic… picket fence.
