I wanted to paint something with an inherent glow. Like the lightbulb painting, I was also finding it difficult to dial in the exact color + intensity.

Things learned: Glowing objects don't spread their light influence very much. I think it's important to keep everything around the glowy part pretty dark to emphasize the light. The mouse is sitting on my frosted glass desk again. I started painting in a dark line around the mouse and cord thinking it was the shadow, but it was actually the reflection of the object in the glass. The actual shadow was this warmish hue. It was warm because they were exposing the warm wood colors underneath it.
