Afternoon shadow in the Queen's Gardens.

After weeks of painting green and brown it was a delight to enter the Queen's Gardens here in Nelson today, and see these brilliant flowers moving from bright sunlight into the shadow as the afternoon proceeded.
I think that I will have to paint them again, they are so bright and cheerful. Our native bush is very beautiful, but sombre. In our valley we do have enough exotics to make a brave display in autumn. In the meantime I will rejoice in this lovely display.
