hollyhocks progress

Today I worked on the shutters some more and got the hollyhocks in shadow looking better. Tomorrow I will be downtown all day at the River Art Group Gallery so won't be painting. Still have to do all the greenery at the bottom of the painting. I always try to remember what one teacher told me about foliage--It is mostly a matter of "repetition with variety"-easier said than done! And probably why I have left it last. Stay tuned.
