Long Overdue ... Another Process!

I was visiting my sister in Vancouver a few days ago, and her gorgeous  hollyhocks caught my camera's eye.

I painted the cast shadows first, with a mix of aureolin, permanent rose and indanthrone blue. Then did some of the form shadows in a mix of aureolin, perm. rose and cobalt blue. 

 I painted the leaves and stalk in different mixes and glazes of aurelin, quin. gold, quin. burnt orange and phthalo green[YS].

More work on the form shadows.

I saw a lot of very soft reflected colors in the petals. I used aureolin, the pink, cobalt blue, quin. sienna and phthalo green - all very thinly.

Here is where I am right now. It's really quite lovely and delicate, and I am loath to put in a background. What do you think?
