These are flowers from my own wildflower garden. They are pink, but shadows give a blue tint. As a result, they looked this way in the shade. The dark shadows against the light background give drama to the painting.

Comments on Shadow Flowers
I really like the contrast of the sunlit background and the flowers in front in the shade. So pretty!
