Just kind of doodled away tonight. Kept experimenting, and enjoying all of the color. Started out as a photo of a rock. Hope you're having a wonderful day.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Wonderfully balanced.
At first ... first, that is ... glance ... had the thought that your flame/creation might be a tad 'bottom heavy'. (Given the somewhat visual prominence of your jewel.)
But ... not the case.
The lighter colour palette in the upper portions along with the lines within frame ... work well towards that of a finely balanced composition.
And but of course, thank you for sharing this one with us. :o)

Don't know how I missed this image, Nathan, but it's far better late than never. This piece is just awesome! It has such a bold feeling of life. Great contrasting colors... wonderful design! Wen
