I love hollyhocks. They are one of my favorite flowers. I also love Taos, New Mexico, and that is where I took the photograph that this painting originated from. 

There is something about the enchanted circle area that draws me back again and again. The light in that part of the world is just what the artist ordered. While I'm at it I must give a shout out to Outback Pizza and Michael's Kitchen. Great food and wonderful people.

This painting doesn't do justice to the real beauty and color of the flowers. But, if I managed to capture just a little of the magic they evoke, the effort was worthwhile. Until next month………...
