I love white Hollyhocks. In fact I love white flowers in general.The Beehive House in S.L.C, Utah has the most beautiful white, pink and almost burgundy hollyhocks. It is a never ending source for old fashioned flowers. It is defiantly worth seeing in the summer and early fall.

These colorful mixture of  chickens are finished. Ready to be sold at a gallery shop in Montana. I will be spending the next few weeks there to be with family and friends.

This was the quick study of "Alpine view".  I love the bright colors and looseness by painting in a hurry.  I painted an under painting of Red oxide so that it would all be in harmony.

I needed to paint some chickens so this is my first attempt at  the subject. It was fun to just mess round a little and to try a few bolder strokes. Ready to start the final painting. I will post it tomorrow.

This is a revised version of the original. I worked on the water a little more. I think this will do.

The upper Stillwater is a fabulous place to kayak, for great views of the mountains and to see wildlife of every kind. We had a great time with friends the day I snapped this photo reference. We were sitting on the bank having our lunch and taking it all in. When I finished this painting the other day it made me homesick for Montana. I can't wait for Summer so we can visit again. Next time, I will paint the kayaks.
