Bluish cast shadow, lavender house and lilacs. How could I not try the challenge to make it work?
Usually the second painting of the day goes more easily than the first but I had to draw this six times before I got a composition that was passable. Orchestrating the large blank spaces in the house and shadow also posed a few issues. Many of those resolutions are too subtle to show up well on the web. I kind of like the way it came out....especially if you like purple. What do you think?

Yes, I like that composition! Nice how the overhead wire and the ground shadow curve different ways away from the lilac bushes. And the colors and image have a nice fresh feel.
