This painting of Hollyhocks is a reminder of hot sunny summer and will brighten gray December days.

 

The method used is loaded brush, lots of pigment and loose painterly strokes.  Negative spaces of green foliage are seemingly abstract but they complement the bright pink flowers.  Final shadows pull it all together.

 

Colors: Gamboge yellow, permanent rose, ultramarine blue and Prussian blue (or equivalent colors)
