The Wavy Candle Centrepiece
A tall coral candle with an exaggerated S-shaped silhouette stands in a low cobalt scalloped holder on a pale table.
Small 640×360, Medium 1200×675
Finished editorial illustration, 16:9 landscape. One celebration table centrepiece occupies the left third: an absurdly tall coral candle with a broad, gently S-shaped body, tiny golden flame and one simple wax drip, seated in a very squat cobalt-blue scalloped ceramic holder. View from slightly above table height; the pale tabletop crosses the lower quarter, with generous empty space to the right. A broad buttery-yellow diagonal patch of light falls behind and beneath the candle against a muted blue-grey background, suggesting sunlight returning after rain without depicting weather. Expressive hand-drawn marker contours, broad uneven fills, three bold screen-print ink colours, slight colour misregistration and sparse paper grain. Strong silhouette, playful proportions, legible at thumbnail size. No flowers, people, intricate hatching or extra props. No text, logos or watermarks.
