Hollyhocks is a 1888 unspecified by Ross Turner, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This painting showcases a bouquet of hollyhocks, with their large, showy flowers and long, slender stems. The flowers are depicted in various colors, including white, pink, and yellow, and are arranged in a loose, organic manner. The background of the painting is a warm, golden color, which complements the cool tones of the flowers. One interesting aspect of this painting is the way the artist has used light and shadow to create depth and dimension. The flowers are illuminated from the top, casting shadows on the stems and leaves below. This creates a sense of volume and texture, drawing the viewer's eye into the painting.
