Description
My first try in painting medium. I had my passion in drawings until after 30 years i had a chance to enrol in a Painting class and made my self clear to paint eventually my late Mother eventually(my 2nd Painting). Here , this obra is explained:
Life is like a candle light that need protections from the element to continue its purpose of giving light.The movement, wind, and other things can determine its life to light, like the world that is full life, it is made of light.
Actual color varies from this photo shot at 12megapixel digicam without flash.

Such a powerful picture - and each of us has a light we could share if only we would do so. Love this so much. F/L

Very impressive water color, Saigon! You have really captured the light so well, especially with this difficult medium. Congratulations!

THanks Paula..what a moving comment..it was actually the 2nd (next to a classroom 2colored tone practice titled primus fructus )..but basically this is the first try after 2 art session on basic painting. Oh yes I put my soul next skipping my meals!

Hi Saigon, Found bible. The painting is by Georges de la Tour (1593-1652) And depicts Joseph the carpenter and the child Jesus, holding the candle. The similiarities to your work are clear.
SAIGON DeCastro
Oh my....you're giving me goose bumps Maria. But googling in a flash i see some similar darky, yellowish color ala renaissance distinction.
Maria Disley
This reminds me of a painting in an old bible I have somewhere, will dig it out and let u know who srtist is, it may be Carravaggio or Rembrandt.

Loved this piece the most in your work. Shows strong Hope.... keep it alive... keep it burning...keep it illuminating...saving it from strong winds...the message is crystal, very fine work in water colour.
