Black Hollyhock – Original Botanical Watercolor

A study of Black Hollyhock, celebrated for its dramatic near-black blossoms and elegant vertical growth.
The flowers shift between deep indigo, violet, and burgundy tones, while soft green leaves provide a subtle counterpoint. The composition preserves the stately presence of the plant, highlighting both its architectural form and remarkable coloration.
Part of the Goth Garden series, created as illustrations for the book of the same name.
Original watercolor on 100% cotton paper with natural deckled edges. Signed and dated.
