Hollyhocks in Corrales

Hollyhocks have long been an artist's favorite. Their dramatic coloring and towering presence make for a beautiful composition. They have stirred the imagination of many painters in the beautiful Land of Enchantment. This painting (oil on canvas) was created in the inspiring garden of Mr. and Mrs. Gary Dearth, in Corrales, New Mexico. The artist, while visiting his friends, was so inspired that a painting soon appeared on the canvas.
