The Watchman

acrylic on panel, 10" x 8"

The Watchman hollyhock is a dark, almost black maroon flower which, when it hits the light just right, shows an array of colors ranging from ultramarine violet to plum and even magenta.  I've painted hollyhocks a few times before, and I'm not done with them; I just love their tall stalks, large leaves and prolific blossoms.  So majestic!
