Comment from Ray Gordon
Another beautiful soft pastel glimmering by candle light, with a hint of the holiday season with the holly and pine cones. A soothing illustration that will warm the hearts on a cool night. Very nice m. Ray

Thank you!! This is not a photograph. I have done this in pastels.

My apologies I meant to put drawing! It looks like a photograph, such an amazing job!

Don’t apologize as it wonderful that you thought of it as a photograph. That is the highest compliment you could ever give me!!

This soft pastel art is a visual treat! Your framing draws the eye beautifully, and the play of light and shadows, combined with the rich colours, makes it truly captivating. Well done!
