Red Hollyhock Watercolor

Hi, I have been working  on this watercolor.  I have a photo of Grans from her yard.  This is Johns mother, my mother in law,but so much more than that,another mothwr, a best friend.  I truly  planned  on making them white but got into this bold color.  Just finished  it this minute.  I am trying to turn out many new works for this show, I will be the artist in Baker Hall in Norfolk Botanical Garden  in September.  I am excited.  Love to each of you, Diana di
