House Shadows


House Shadows 
9x12 inch 
watercolor 
I am exploring shadows today. The whole point of wanting to paint this was the odd shaped shadow in the foreground. I am always interested in the space between things more than I am in the actual "things". This painting can be found HERE

    Thank you so much Sue. I went back and darkened that shadow again. I realized since the picture is all about that shadow I needed to make it more prominent. I think that was my artist voice from inside.

    The shadow is just beautiful! You did not lose its vibrancy which is not always easy!

      I know what you mean. I have painted many shadows that were too dark and the eye just fell into them. Game over.
