Picket Line Hollyhocks

11x7 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper, a quick demo done yesterday in the studio for the class, a totally imaginary scene. I love to paint white subjects and to do another picket fence was right up my alley (no pun intended).  Also hollyhocks are my favorite cottage flower with their tall upright heirloom blooms so reminiscent of another time when the world was calmer and quieter.
