Melt
Found a brush that imitates the effect of salt in watercolors pretty well and might have use it a lot in this piece. The background was pretty plain anyway so it just added a bit of texture.
Melt
"The light of a single candle
Flickers in the dark
As the runny wax
Overflows its pedestal.
The flame will soon run out of fuel
And vanish in a thin thread of smoke,
But for now,
Light and darkness dance
And melt together,
United by seams of dim warmth
In a fugitive display of beauty
That comes closer to its end
With every second."
