Stained Glass Candle Holder with Clementines - Pastel Study




When I saw this candle holder made out of little yellow and green glass squares soldered together and en-wrapped with a black iron collar and iron chain, I knew it would be so pretty and bought it.  I was right - in a darkened room with the candle lit, little yellow and green squares glow with light. 

For this eye-level still life study I tried to darken the draped box somewhat to see the effect of the candlelight.  The addition of the clementines adds some softness and additional color to the set up.

I used a soft, cool grey-green 9 x 12" piece of Colorfix with soft pastels to do the study.
