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.
