A Challenge with Shadows

I like your colours and shapes, and was interested that this came from a challenge to inspire home learning. Our schools (N.Z.) are closed at present so the teachers have the same issues. I don't think that posting this is in bad taste either.

20" x 16" acrylic. In these unusual times, staff at the school where I work are setting challenges to inspire unconventional home-learning. Today's art challenge involved creating images starting with cast shadows. I used blue pastels on orange pastel paper. Feeling urgently inspired, I painted this abstract this afternoon, based on the pastel studies. I've often wanted to paint abstracts but I struggle to know what shapes and colours to use when I could paint absolutely anything. Today I had some ideas.
