Yellow hollyhocks were growing at the side of the road, in a ditch, and they immediately caught my attention. I had never seen a yellow hollyhock and such a beautiful flower I had to try and paint these. I proceeded to take numerous photos and a neighbour came out and said why I was taking photos of those weeds. I told Him they what they were and He started laughing said He was going to cut them down. They just seemed to be happy and they looked "awake" as it was early morning.
