Shadows

I have also almost finished a new still life. It is a beautiful lace-curtain pattern shadow covering an antique vase of white peonies, with a bright orange begonia blossom reflected in the vase. This was a very exciting piece to work on and a challenge to balance the bright colored begonia with the soft shadow pattern and more subtle colors of the other vase. I also have another shadow pattern piece in the sketch stage and would like to finish this also in time for the Hagaman Fall Art Show. I am very fascinated by shadow shapes and patterns and my next still-life pieces will probably tend to continue with this theme for a while longer.
