Alex,
I usually don't like candle-lit (or, in this case, lamp-lit) paintings - I suspect because they are really difficult to pull off - but I gotta say, this one stopped me in my tracks. It is such a convincing scene you have created. I keep coming back to see this one. I think it has to do with your uncanny ability to create a certain atmosphere, and be perfectly consistent with it - every element in the painting supports that beautifully. It is so believable, I just want to linger, maybe pull up a chair myself and start reading. Just lovely.
