Loved the sketch and the color palatte! I turned the sketch on it's side to accomodate my horizontal photo. My inspiration from the picture included the colors, the numerous round shapes, and the fact that the candles look like apples reminded me of "back to school" which brings thoughts of bicycles and so many possibilities!

This was a great sketch to work with!
The color palette was a bit tricky, but I pulled the brown and red tones to work with.

I loved this sketch, and the colors really pushed me to dig into my stash and play with some older papers/patterns.
