I originally attempted this painting in pastels. This is the watercolor version, where the real challenge lay in capturing the diffuse light around the candle flames against a dark background. Watercolor. $300
For much of the past year, I, like many of you, have been self-isolating due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. During this time I have continued to paint. However, with galleries closed and exhibits cancelled, I have had little opportunity to show my work. Many of the new posts you are seeing here are being seen for the first time by anyone outside my immediate family. Enjoy, stay safe, wear a mask and maintain social distancing.
Daniel J. Slattery has worked in many mediums, including acrylic, oils, pen and ink, pastels and ink washes. Over the years he has gravitated towards watercolors, partly for their versatility and partly for their portability, which make any pleasant setting a good place to sit and paint for an hour or two.
