Oranges Light No. 01

So I decided to do the inverse of the last painting series, using the same source photo from before, and just changing the background colors in my head. It was more challenging than I thought it was going to be. Thinking about where to place the shadows because it is not just the same place as where the light parts of the dark version are.

Also, I painted the bowl a couple of times. The first time, there was not enough contrast between the bowl and the background so the bowl was disappearing into the background. I changed the color of the bowl to a different blue to help it stand out.
