So this painting abounds with imperfections, as is consistent with all my work. So this was kind of a study in shadow and light and perspective. I wanted to paint the candle/stand from a kind of close-up perspective in relation to the doorway/entry. I tried to tone down the brightness of light emerging from the adjacent room. I really enjoy experimenting with things I’m not very proficient at. I love learning how things work and how to create certain types of effects with a paint brush. Painting is so fascinating to me. There is so much to it, how could you ever suffer boredom as a painter? Creative block, lack of inspiration for sure but never boredom there is always something new to learn or new ways of growing and improving.

Nah it’s perfect! I like how it turned out.. as if the candle is coming to life and wants to dance. 😀

I have no ideas of how to paint or draw, but when I look at paintings I’m always fascinated on the use of light and shadows, keep it up! 🙂

I love it – especially the foreshortened nearest leg, definitely dancing! And I like the shadows and the simplicity of the single line of the door

Liz, thank you so much! It has a good feel about it, but there are always things I look at and would tweak were I to paint it again.
