I love the colours you used in this beautiful pastel painting, Maureen, done in memory of a loved one. Love how you placed the flowers with the candle, Excellent light and shade. Great blending of colours. Very evocative composition. Suzanne

This beautiful piece of artwork has an old world nuance to it. Do you use a brush when you paint with pastels? I have never used them.
You have a wonderful 3D look here. I love it. Such talent.

Wow this is a great soft pastel Maureen. Flowers and candle really pop with this one. Great texture and colour with great use of light and shade. Deserves a six. Well done and thanks for sharing :-)

Beautiful painting of this candle and pink roses to remember the memory of a love one. I love how you have painted the light of the melting candle and these pink roses. This is also a touching scene making me think of my own love one who passed away.

Maureen, this is so beautiful! What a lovely way to remember someone! Love both the candle and the roses. This is pure elegance! This has got to be for someone very special! This deserves far more than six stars but sadly I don't even have that to give! I can only describe this as awesome! :o) Nancy

Beautiful way to remember a lived one, the candle burning is so well shown, I appreciate the way you show the light from the candle in background.
The pink roses for me suggest that it is a female being honored here. I like the delicate white flowers on the left.
This is well executed with suck perfect choice and application of the colors to show the light and shadows.
Well presented!
