"Moody Blues"
5" x 7"
Stretched Canvas
I was feeling like I wanted to paint something with a little drama or feeling to it. I know, I know, a candle doesn't seem very dramatic all by itself, but this candle photo I found on my favorite photos-for-artists site had a mood about it. I wish I could credit the photographer, but her name was not on the site. At any rate, it wasn't the Zen-like painting session I thought it would be--it was a relatively difficult painting. Who would have thought something so simple would be so troublesome. I thought the flame would be the worst part, but trying to show the glow through the actual candle body was a real bear! Hopefully, I managed it well enough. I think I might be able to evaluate it better after I step away from it for a day or two!
