A GLIMPSE OF MANYUNK

Since it is the first day of spring I thought it would be nice to post a painting instead of some more color music.  Although this was not painted in the spring it does have the feeling of discovery that comes to me in the spring.  I got a glimpse of Manyunk through the trees along the Cynwyd trail.

Hollyhocks are the flowers I associate with my childhood.  I think they were the first flowers I actually became aware of.  In the fog of early consciousness I was attracted to their centers and then frightened by some unexpected movement inside - probably bees.  I still retain this simultaneous attraction - repulsion feeling whenever I come upon them.

That is probably why I only have one plant in my garden this beautiful soft pink.

Recently I visited some friends who had the most spectacular Hollyhocks I have ever seen surrounding their very extensive, beautiful gardens.  They were at least 8 feet tall and blooming like teenagers.
