Hydrangeas Under the Shadecloth

As I was painting under the shade cloth I had to keep checking the surface for the shadows created by it.  The shadows were on the plastic beneath the plants but I had to be sure that I was creating the shadows on the painting and that they were not the actual shadows.

One of the continuing challenges with painting smaller is the resolution of the subjects within the composition.  The impressionistic strokes seem to make the painting less substantive.
