I enjoyed painting this hollyhock with the cast shadows and the lovely deep pink centres the other day. It didn't take long as it is small format at 26 cm x 17 cm. I just wanted to capture those shadows!
Latest news is that I am having my operation in early January and so with any luck should be recovered by late March 2013 ready to start some classes again. I will let you know as soon as I have some definite dates.
This really is a beautiful painting, Ann. The shadows are super and of course the light glows against the soft background. Your paintings are quite inspirational. I hope all goes well with your operation. :)

ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
DeleteThey are lovely aren't they! Love those tall spikes with the flowers getting smaller and smaller towards the top and the bees love them too. Thanks for calling in!
