I taught a one-week workshop in Herndon, VA last week and this is one of the two demonstration paintings. The other was a landscape which I failed to photograph. This painting helped me talk about connecting the light and shadow shapes, choosing a focal point (the hydrangea on the left), how to make a focal point, how you use elements of the composition to direct the viewer to the focal point and, oh yeah, the color of the light. :^)
