Hello Sunshine

This little guy reminds me of a little ball of sunshine... surrounded by bright yellow autumn leaves. It sure feels like fall has arrived in Vancouver... with pouring rain and very cool weather. I am sure there is still summer ahead of us yet... but, for now, the weather is very fall-like.

Yellow is a challenging colour for me... especially to create life-like shadows. I tried mixing in some burnt sienna and a purple (Purpurite Genuine from Daniel Smith). I think I need to push these colours further and try perhaps a stronger purple. Experiments (and their results) will definitely be posted.
