Several times this painting actually had shadows, and several times I actually painted them out. Thank goodness May 9 is the start of Lorelle Bacon's class on painting shadow and light. I need that class!
I find I have a much easier time painting shadows on objects than painting shadows on surfaces the objects sit on.
This was painted yesterday. I didn't paint at all today. I painted longer than usual yesterday, maybe because I painted larger than usual yesterday. Or maybe it was those shadows...
Painting on an 8x8" support instead of 6x6" was fun. The brush fit better. Who knew?

Oh, thanks, Mom! I painted out the shadows because they looked terrible...but I thought I would show you the painting, anyway. Maybe I'll feel I can finish it after I take this class.
Auntt. Mer,
I love your picture. The flowers are so pretty.
Love,
Brooke
Hi Brooke! I'm so happy you came to look at my painting and you think the flowers are pretty.
Love,
Aunt Mer
I agree with Mom and Brookie on this one, I LOVE the way the water and stems look in the bottom of the vase. Seriously, when did my sister become such an amazing artist? I live in awe of what you've been able to do out of determination to learn. Oh, and I think thee is definitely some raw talent there that you never knew about!
Thanks, Jack, so glad you like it! Not talent, anything I can do is from hard work.
