Many challenges here. One example: how to take what shows up in my home as a gray shadow on a light gray carpet and create any visual interest. Already did dark gray shadows on my lighter gray driveway!
So, now my family room has a tangerine floor covering lit by the sunshine streaming in one of its south-facing windows, and the unlit portions—those areas where the walls of our home cast "shadows"— show themselves to be blueberry.
Dabbed in a little tinting and shading to evoke a feeling of Berber carpet texture, called it an abstract day!
Hiding in the shadows, perched on the ghost gallery window sills projected onto my family room floor, stand the following:
Evening Walk, Kelley Point Road
Wanderlust
Rock-Solid Sunshine
Evening Barn
Jones Creek
In the Fullness of Summer

Love this one! I can picture the shadow on the floor of the living room :)
Glad it strikes your fancy! I love that the shadow challenge on Daily Paintworks nudged me to paint a scene I see repeatedly but would never otherwise have thought to represent in paint.
Cool idea!
Thanks for taking a look, Sheila!
Thanks, too, for your very first look-see/comment when I joined the 30 in 30 challenge. That gesture was a huge gift to me. I felt affirmed, energized, and enlivened, and—very importantly—you sparked me to comment frequently myself, paying forward your gift. I've made friends and I now have a community that I didn't have before! You're awesome!
