Christmas By Candle

A glowing white candle with a vivid red-orange flame sits nestled in a bed of holly branches with bright red berries, set against a deep midnight-blue starry background dotted with white snowflakes. A radiant halo of soft yellow-white light surrounds the candle, creating a warm, luminous focal point against the dark, wintry sky. A sparkling star shines in the upper right corner. The palette contrasts rich greens and reds against the cool navy background, evoking a classic Christmas mood. The painterly acrylic style features expressive, loose brushwork with moderate detail, suitable for intermediate painters.
