This is lovely done in pastels and very appropriate for the contest. You did extra-outstanding with the bowl/bottom. All of it is very nice. Best wishes in the contest.

    Welcome. In the smaller answering replies version, the candle and light are even more stunning.

So imaginative and well presented painting of a candle burning in the night.
Great colors, details and overall pleasing presentation.

Beautiful work here!! The details are impressive. The shading and reflected light lend a lot of realism to the piece. The colours are nice and warm, making the environment seem cozy. However, I would be caution you to take your signature out of the corner. This is a blind contest, you could be disqualified. You still have time to edit before the contest closes. Best of luck!!

This candle looks so beautiful with the wax running down its sides, and the flame is really well done. I also like the fine shine in the candle holder and the darkness of the background. But I especially like the way you have used the light.

It is easy to see that this was done paying a very good attention to details, and you have also used high lights so well. The brush work is excellent.

The format and framing is perfect, and it looks good with the candle centered. A truly lovely and well done painting, and I wish you luck with the contest. Think you need to take away the signature though, because this is a blind contest.

And the lit candle was placed in the window. With the smell of tallow in the air. The soft glow lights the immediate area. The drips grab a glow too. very nicely done. Good luck in the contest.

A nice candle creation in such a beautiful way that it is attractive as even the color combination is well-chosen, your detailed work is so special in all sections with reflections and niche applied light - a great presentation have a great luck for the contest

A really beautiful work of art! This candle and its infinitely gorgeous details can be so symbolic and gives a warm feeling as well as a bit of contradiction in the darkened borders. Excellent work and best luck for the contest!
