Candle II - Original Oil Painting - Still Life Art - 6 inches
A small light full of warmth and vibrant energy.
"Candle II" is a glowing original oil painting that captures the cozy, flickering atmosphere of a quiet evening. The composition centers on a lit tea light candle with a brilliant orange and yellow flame that seems to radiate heat. The round glass jar surrounding it is masterfully painted to show complex reflections in light blue, white, and hints of yellow. Delicate details, like the wire metal handle wrapping around the glass rim, add a touch of realism to the scene. The entire subject rests against a dreamy background of expressive lavender, pink, and light blue pastel brushstrokes.
Painted on a 15x15 cm (6x6 inch) handmade primed cradled wood panel, this piece stands out for its rich texture. Alai uses her signature thick impasto technique to give a tactile quality to the flame and the glass reflections, making the light appear to vibrate off the surface. It is a perfect, soulful accent for a bookshelf, a nightstand, or as part of a modern gallery wall.
Why this original is a fresh pick:
- Masterful Transparency: Thick, confident brushstrokes successfully capture the difficult illusion of glass transparency and refracted light.
- Modern Pastel Palette: The contrast between the warm, fiery orange of the candle and the cool lavender and blue background creates a vibrant visual harmony.
- Sculptural Texture: The heavy application of oil paint (impasto) adds a 3D dimension that makes the small painting come alive under different lighting conditions.
