I needed to send someone a condolence card. Someone who sat shiva (one sits shiva for seven days for a close relative, in this case a brother) far away. So I painted two watercolors of yahrzeit candles. I’ve never painted lit candles before, and it wasn’t easy. I chose one to send. Here are both the watercolors:
I like the top one best. Maybe because due to the more varied colors and its slenderness we have a less pessimistic feeling.
Which one did you send?
I agree with ID. I think it’s the most vibrant.
I actually had to look it up. Yes, I did send the top one. This is an example where you can make “little lies” in art; you may not exactly see something in some way, but you can add it to your painting, anyway.
Thanks for looking, Ilana-Davita and Baila. I guess “less pessimistic” is a good goal for a condolence card. One wouldn’t want too cheery, on the other hand.
Yes, I like the top one best too. There is something about it that is both sad and comforting. Really lovely.
I totally agree with all the rest, the top one is my favourite one too! But I have missed so much here in so little time! I loved the salmon recipe, and I will try that pink sauce very soon, the red hibiscus was stunning, you teach us computer skills, you make water color paintings! You are so talented Leora!
Bless you!
Jientje, you are so sweet. With a comment like that one, I will continue posting on my variety of topics. Thanks for the encouragement.
I love the second one the best…so beautiful! I found out today my friend’s Dad passed away…
Beautiful. I can’t decide i love them all!
Janet and Sheva, glad you like them. It helps motivate me to do more. Much appreciated.
