Playing with Shadows in Watercolor

Well, another painting I finished up recently was fun playing with shadows in watercolor. Along side one of our neighborhood fences I came across a patch of Black-Eyed Susans I think and a little yellow finch. Picture perfect opportunity. Well, actually I had to combine two photos to get this one because the little bird just wouldn't cooperate.

Anyway, I loved the colorful greys and soft shadows so much that I had to paint it. Enjoy.

Note: This painting was created on Arches 140lb Cold Press Block with Winsor and Newton transparent watercolor. It is an 11 x 14 painting.
