A beautiful & atmospheric drawing of the Moth on a loaf of bread near the candle burning on a skull with a slice of Melon, a Pear, two red Apples, a Pear three dark plumbs grapes & a fruit knife standing out from their dark background. Created in your artist's eye for composition, very skilful draftsmanship, beautiful choice & application of your colours in bring this scene to life on your canvas. Good luck in the contest

Maureen, amazing pastel creation, I love the concept and its execution. The scull, the candle, the apples and plums and the melons and last but not the least the candle with its drips. Excellent rendition. The best of luck in the contest. Ray

A very meaningful artwork,indeed. The light and shadow play is good. The colours are natural. Overall, it has been composed well, with an interesting foreground and background, all of which add to the interest of the main subject .Good Luck!

A very different entry into the contest and it works really well. I love the moth attracted to the flame of the candle which shows the melting wax perfectly.
Good luck in contest.

A very creative art piece for the competition. I love the candle on top of the skull, quite dramatic and the moth attracted to the flame is quite realistic. Colors and textures are very good.
