Hi, this image titled Sixteen Candles is a mesmerising journey where the viewer is invited to look for images within each candle. Brilliant use of colour and texture. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest, cheers.

This is an interesting entry for this contest. I counted 16 candles and I can see that each one is different . I like the color choices and the way they are applied. I like also that each candle has its own unique flame.
Black was the perfect choice for background as it emphasizes the candles beautifully!
Well created, arranged and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

    A hint is sweet sixteen and the candles are best friends and family. Thank you for your wonderful review. I am glad you enjoyed it.

A galore of candles of many rustic colors and out of the box design. I like it that you've presented this with dark background because each candle with distinct design and colors really stands out. Made me think of Sweet Sixteen birthdays. Yes, all different . High on artistic ability and creativity.

I would not mind getting hold of candles looking like this. I think people would fall for abstract patterned wax like this. I like that all the 16 candles are presented with an all dark background and that they are outlined with white thin lines.

Perhaps the flames could have been smaller, but since this after all is an abstract, it works. The format and framing works well, and I like the way you have filled the whole area with the candles. Creative and well done painting, and I wish you luck with the contest.

An interesting painting with colourful brushwork' It is a vibrant explosion of color and texture. Bold strokes of the flames paint dance across the canvas, creating a dynamic and expressive composition. Well done! Good luck!

An interesting rendition into the contest. This view reminds me of glass perfume bottles sold in Indian shops.
A very creative scene with a black background to show them at their absolute best. Good luck in the contest.

Very impressive! No secret who did this piece!Your abstract work works well here. You gave these candles the look of wax. The flame looks waxy too. Love the way you arranged them. The colors are wonderful. I think the outlines on the candles show them off well! Love the black background. Good luck in the contest! :o) Nancy

I like this entry into the contest as the candles are all individual in creation and the colors of the wax create images within the candles.
The Sixteen candles representing sharing the light and love of the most important people on reaching 16 years of age which is a lovely tradition, not sure it is still continued these days.
