Candle in the Night by Shama Lakhani

This drawing is named Candle in the Night, and it depicts someone looking out of a window trying to illuminate the night by a candle inside. The foreground and the background are separated by the window in the center of the drawing, which produces the distinction between the inside and outside environment. The size of the mountains in the background in relation to the candle also serves to punctuate the distinction between the foreground and the background. The crescent moon in the far left serves as the vanishing point with its blue hue and hazy purple creating the effect of it being very distant. The crescent moon is directly left of the candle which produces the movement needed for the viewer to look from one end to the other into the vanishing distance. To further enhance the perspective through scale, the grass is shown as tall and more defined up against the window; whereas, the grass in the distant is more of a blur rippling in the wind.
