Cross posted from current Weekend Drawing Event in the AMAE forum:
16×12 watercolor on 140 lb Arches cold press paper done Saturday afternoon . I managed to go over the 2 hour time limit by 4 minutes. The pristine white hollyhocks take center stage as they guard the garden. Look closely and you can see orange tiger lilies peeking through at center bottom. The old fashioned, tall stately blooms never cease to put me into an hypnotic state almost. :rolleyes:
