An Exercise in shadows (?)

This is a work that I have wanted to attempt for a very long time.
It is shadowing the petals of a flower that I am trying to teach myself.
Again, I began on the wrong step, and had to re-work the whole painting.
I changed the colours of the flower completely
and am still not sure that it is finished.
But here is where I am tonight.
Hope you like it!

Kathleen I think it is very difficult to shadow petals. I still have not got it. I think this is lovely and you have achieve the shading very convincingly.
