Passion for Purple (aka Cool Red Zinnias)

Cool Red Zinnias

On my easel now is a summer floral.  In the light background, there is an abstract pattern of leaf shapes which forms a layer of interest behind the contrasting dark crimson and purple zinnias.  

In front of the arrangement there is a mixture of cool (and colorful) light shining on long stems.   Zinnias are fun to paint because their rows of petals form a circular bullseye around the center.   I played with the light on the tips of the petals to show where the light was casting from above. 

I still may change the color of the vase - too dull.  What do you think?
