Offered Candle

I painted this candle right after the Calla Lily.  My theme seems cultural; Mexican motif.  I love the striped cloth and the  thought of offering up a candle.  I lit the candle; painted it; left the studio for a few hours.  When I returned the candle had burned down to the nub(?)  How fortunate I was that my studio was still intact.  Just maybe my offered candle was pleasing.  Oil on board   7: X 5"  $75
