Glow in a Cup, (unframed)

Glow in a Cup, 6x6 original oil on board.

A friend gave me this candle-in-a-teacup as a belated birthday gift. I loved the shape and thought, "after I burn the candle, I'll use this cup in a painting". So I lit the candle on my kitchen counter and then thought, "Wow...DIFFERENT and beautiful! I will paint it right now and try to capture that glow." So ran outside for some roses as background and painted away right there in my kitchen.
