LIKE A CANDLE IN THE WIND, 8X6", OIL
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Elton John
I have always loved this song. It was even more meaningful to me when he changed the lyrics for Princess Diana's funeral.

i really like these, there awesome! the contrasts in the vertical and horizontal textural strokes used is great!
Very nice Carol, I like the blues and colors you chose and the lighting from the flame.
I am a huge Elton John fan....wonderful painting of a candle to go with. Love those lyrics:)
Hi Carol, I too always loved this song and often sing it to myself ( I do a lot of singing when nobody hears me ) , and I love the way you painted this candle, and how you created the transparency in the top.
Elton would be honored by your visual tribute to his lyrics. Just lovely Carol!
Beautiful painting! I'm a fan too!
Love this one, the candle looks so waxy and the flame so real, beautiful composition too.
I feel like these are actually painted in soft wax, beautiful effect!
