North Country Hollyhock

I once watched a video of a  lady demonstrating  how to paint a rose.  She stated it wasn't necessary to paint exactly what you see .  Rather she said "paint the most beautiful rose in the world".  In contrast, I painted this poor hollyhock.  It had been eaten by a deer but struggled to make a comeback though battered by the wind off the Bay of Green BaY.

I thought it deserved to be painted.
