Flowers on Sunday and a Bad Shadow

Back at the Farmers’ Market after a few weeks off and armloads of wonderful huge sunflowers. I had purchased three brightly-painted flower buckets at the yard sales a few weeks ago, and knew that they would be perfect for sunflowers. I love seeing their bright cheeriness greeting me when I step into my house! I saw a bad shadow today, which sounds like something from a science-fiction show. But you would really think that a sign painter would have figured out how to correctly make a shadow.

This chair looks like it’s hovering somewhere above ground, with only one leg anchored on terra firma. If you look at a shadow, any place that’s touching the ground, also has to have a shadow that begins at the same place and also starts on the ground. Additionally, the angles of the shadow always remain the same, regardless of what angles are on the object.

My photoshop skills are not quite up to making decent shadows, but if I had an hour or two to play with it, I could whip up one better than the one above.I  just made a little drop shadow instead.
