Another sprig I took from the burning bushes next to our house, but this time 1. the leaves are red, not just reddening, and 2. the berries have come out of their little wrappers. I think I’m happiest with the stick in this painting, though. There are no shadows because I had to hold it about level with my eyes to get this angle; any shadows cast would be very far beneath the thing casting them and I did not feel like improvising shadows to make it look like the stick was resting on a surface.So I guess pretend it’s floating weightless in a clean room on a spaceship. (On second thought, don’t, because that would radically alter the positioning of the berries if not also of the leaves, which have curvature and direction of their own which might persist in the absence of gravity) -- source link
