Superb composition. Delightful and tantelising Palet.Convincing subject with exceptional and intriquing composure, mood and pensive atmosphere. One cannot help but to be drawn around the whole of the composition. One critique: do away with the distracting elongated candle which tends to "want" the viewer into that region and away from the focus.That would make this a very exceptional piece. PRICE ??

Thank you Dane for your constructive comments...
Unfortunately, the picture appears more flat as a digital image. The painting has far more depth in person and the slender candle in the back appears further in the distance adding to the depth and also appears less strong adding to the effect. It is part of the second plan in the painting. The absence of it creates a gap in the field which I found distracting from the first plan. Best regards, Oksana
About that long candle
Nah,... do NOT do away with it. Maybe just tone down the intensity of the flame. Yeah, like you would even consider messing with it! It is what it is at this point,.... right? Yours pestfully yet sometimes constructively, somedude/guy/something-or-other.
