R & R

Took some time off to think about where I wanted to go on my paintings.  Decided to change subjects for awhile to refresh.  Have done a couple of florals.  Let me know what you think.

This is from my garden, "Roses of Sharon".  I usually call them Altheas but my friends told me that name was too prosaic for the painting.

This next one is also a view of the garden coming around the corner from the back.  It is not as nice nor interesting as the althea.  I don't know if it is the subject or the composition.  Haven't even named it yet.  Actually, I can't decide if it deserves one.
