There is something deeply nostalgic about hollyhocks — the way they rose along pioneer homes, fence lines, and simple yards, bringing color and grace to even the most humble places. In this painting, hollyhocks lean toward a quiet stream, their forms softened into color and movement. The brushwork suggests the shimmer of water and the gentle sway of blossoms, inviting the viewer into a moment of peaceful familiarity. It’s a glimpse of beauty found in the everyday landscapes that feel like home.
