I knew the lamp would be a love/hate element. I suppose compositionally, it might have worked better without it. But I wanted both a color counterpoint, and an external symbol of hope which the figure refused to see for being so deeply (perhaps stubbornly) oblivious. BTW, the figure is me.

I love this one - love the tones and composition. I am probably alone, but I don't like the candle at all. 8 and would surely have been a 10 for me without it. Voted earlier. Top ten.
Amazing colors! The salt lamp is a great accent/contrast to all the greens. Adding to my favorites. She looks very depressed... and silent. Hope it will ribbon.
