Hollyhocks 1

This painting stages a lush chorus of blossoms where turquoise shadows and sunlit yellows interlock like shifting weather, turning the garden into a living prism. Thick, directional brushwork gives each petal a tactile pulse, while the hot pink cores act as small furnaces of vitality, anchoring the eye amid the cool drift of blues and greens. The crowded, upward-reaching stems compress space into a buoyant tapestry, suggesting abundance not as decoration but as insistence—an exuberant refusal of stillness. In this radiant chromatic tension, the work becomes a meditation on renewal: light constantly reassembled through color, and joy rendered as layered, physical paint.
