that is today's prompt for the world watercolour month.
fire is one of the four main elements, the other three being, earth, air and water. so my fire might be small but how do you present fire artistically - an image of a burning house might be traumatic for some viewers, or the iconic image of the journalist malcolm browne of a Buddhist monk setting himself on fire (that gives me the hee-bee jeebees!). so a Christmas candle is i thought a way to artistify fire.
Yes, this illustration of a Christmas candle certainly portrays the good side of side of a burning light rather than the destructive side if fire. I wanted to thank you, Vikki for this project; the push this is giving me to watercolor everyday and paint things outside of my comfort zone has been such a wonderful exercise for me.
Brilliant representation. It had me stop and wonder for a brief time. I went for the same element, but Christmas was the last thing on my mind :) and i had no idea about the torch monk.
