I must be in hollyhock mode because

I am seeing them everywhere and want to paint them

nonstop for a month.

This is an impressionistic version and

I think they have a very dreamy quality.

a wonderful journey

Oh my goodness.

I just spent four blissful days in Taos, New Mexico.

I went with my two artist friends, Barb Clark and Susana Erling.

We went to paint, eat, relax, sleep, and paint some more.

I made seven paintings, not as many as I wanted, but I

took over 400 reference photos that will be fantastic

subject matter for my 100 painting series, "FOR A SONG."

I will say that when we got to Taos, it was raining.

And cloudy. And beautiful.

 I'm showing the images extra large to give you the full effect:
