Meets the theme for sure. Like the feeling of motion. Small nit - white hot spot detracts. Sorry to say the vase doesn't hold my interest.

Clearly stuck to the "rules" of the challenge. Good. For me it did not quite work so I pulled it into photoshop to see if I could change it but in a way it could still have been done "realtime". I got rid of the majority of the red "outside the glass on the right hand-side below the main "flame leaving a large black area. and added a few extra flames closer to the top to "join them a little to what was already there. This the looked more like "a cup of fire".

nice effect ; I'm alittle unsure about the overall pleasing nature of the photo- but great portrayal of painting with red fire.
