Candlelight Reflections on a Rainy Window

Original coastal painting by Michelle Power showing a glowing candle reflected in a rain-streaked window against a quiet evening sky

A single candle burns softly before a rain-streaked window, its warm orange flame casting gentle light across the dim interior. Slow trails of water slide down the glass, bending and softening the view outside and catching faint echoes of the candle’s glow. In the window’s surface, the flame appears again—slender, wavering, and golden—its reflection shimmering in quiet harmony with the real light beside it.

Beyond the glass, the landscape settles into muted greys washed by evening rain. A thin ribbon of orange along the horizon hints at the last touch of the sun, fading into pale blue and then deeper dusk-blue as the sky climbs upward. Near the right edge of the frame, the dark outline of a tall conifer—its needles sharp against the fading sky—grounds the scene with a sense of place and stillness.

Inside, the candle becomes the heart of the moment. Its warm glow contrasts gently with the cool, rain-blurred world outside, creating a sense of shelter, quietness, and reflection—both literal and emotional.

Candlelight Reflections on a Rainy Window captures that intimate intersection of warmth and weather, interior calm and exterior storm, where a single flame brings comfort to the soft grey of a rainy evening.
