Hollyhocks are in bloom.   That means I am painting hollyhocks.   The humble yet stately and colorful hollyhocks always brings me cheer. 

Vintage Rose collection of frameable prints now available at Artfully Walls.    

Today's painting is inspired by my garden roses in a milk glass vase on vintage embroidered table cloth.   I really find joy in bringing the outdoors inside especially during summer.  I love the natural lines juxtaposed with the linear tall vase. 

My newest painting is based on a wildflower called bladder campion.  I just picked it in my garden growing wild.   My daughter saw it and told me it also grows in her yard in Wisconsin. I really like the distinct ribbing and white blossoms.

I grew spotted bee balm for the first time this year.  The bees sure loved it.
