Luminously Green

This illuminated green gourd was hanging in my neighbors garden, I just couldn't resist the shot. The bright lights combined with the interesting shadow tells you there is a lot more going on than just this leaf with a gourd. It is this kind of subject that excites my creative side the most because it will make the viewer stop and pause. It should make them think about what they are seeing and what's causing that interesting shadow. I also love love love the wrinkled, dried leaf hanging in front - the texture is absolutely wonderful for inspiring my artwork!
