Small Altar

SOLD

Several times, I've attempted paintings involving candlelight. They present great challenges for me, getting just the right degree of darkness in the background to really make the candles and their light glow in the surroundings. I've tried it again here, without as much success as I'd like. Still, I think it's a nice enough effect. And after all, it is a painting I've done in just one day! In the other paintings like this I've done, I've found myself going back in, and back in, and back in, to get just the right degree of contrast.
