this is truly a fantastic art. is a great and warming image. the red can convey so many other vibes. it could work just as well as a candle from the 'hell club' or something a bit sinister. the flame is so attractive to, is heating up the cold rain outside and now we have sunshine. the magic of your work (no doubt). have just noticed you are mixing a red with pinky shades.

    Who wrote this book? Where was it published?

    oh you not know. 'the hellfire club' is a real outfit and top secret, they are into devil worship and other strange activity.

Good Christmas colors; like the symbol of a candle; like the way you wrote the words above; good lighting; nice job on highlights; good blending and contrasting of yellowish and red colors; the black background is a nice touch, makes it all stand out; thanks for sharing.

This makes a lovely Christmas card, Cleo. I love what you've created here with your digital art. The colours are perfect to add to the warm glow from the candle. I love how you've shown the shine of the wax and how the candle has worn down with the flame. Excellent use of light and shade. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Looks like its still Halloween time with this aesthetic but eerie rendition of a windblown candle flame.
Creative concept. Innovative approach. Imaginative presentation.
An interesting initial impact.
Reddish overtone lends a warm illumination.

Thanks for sharing...

A digital image. I thought it was a painting. You are so very good at this digital art work. The entire work emits a feeling of warmth and joy. This would make a great Christmas card. Well done Cleo and Happy Holidays to You ~ Steve

    It is indeed an digital painting, but I had to post it as digital creation because the text is not painted this time. I switched from my paint program added the text [front: ClassGarmuntBT] in my digital editing program.
