Painting 1 -- Color: Orchid and Shadow

I loved this composition. I like the idea that the background is as interesting as the foreground. I loved the sweep of the shadow and how it lead the eye around the picture plane. I liked the little hints of objects here and there. I like an open composition that gives you the impression that there is more than just what you can see in the painting. I still struggled with the fabric and making the glass appear solid, but this is my favorite painting from the class.
