Hollyhock Haven

12x9 watercolor on Aquabee 140 lb cold press paper, done mid July as a guide for wc students to practice. Using my photo from prior studio hollyhocks, this one had a bee in it so was perfect. My version came out more orange red than the photo which showed more pink tones. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026
