I'm getting anxious to be painting flowers and other spring things.....I keep walking around my yard checking to see if my perennial gardens have made it through the winter. My goal with this painting was to show how stripped and unusual these hollyhocks were; and to not be so tight and precise with every little thing. I guess when I am not doing a rendering, I'm always working towards "getting loose" and trying to stay painterly. Sometimes it works, and with this floral I think I captured that.....
