Splash of Sunlight - Revised

Pastel, 6x6 on UArt paper

I found this painting among some old works.  In 2018, this is a small, plein air expression done as part of a First Coast Pastel Society paint out.  These fall petunias were on a bench in a covered display.  The sunlight fell in patches and streaks on the purple and green.

I retouched the original, added some crisper edges, contrasting light, and updated the shadows - just a touch here and there.  I wanted to preserve my original reaction to the light and shadows.
