![Weekly Wednesday Wisdom -
“All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle."
― St. Francis Of Assisi, The Little Flowers of St. Francis of Assisi
Today's quote was used in the naming of our featured artwork, "Darkness Cannot Extinguish The Light" a 5x3" Mixed Media on Wood Panel from November 2025. This artwork was created to be part of "The Vigil" Exhibition being held by the Lancaster ART Network at Zoetropolis Cinema Stillhouse. Over forty artists received the same 3x5" Panel to create an artwork of a candle in their own style and media. Our piece features hand-painted tissue papers and paper towels some of which were embellished with glitter and is available for sale at https://www.craigscanvases.com/shop/p/darkness-cannot-extinguish-the-light
Artist's Statement / Backstory: I knew I wanted to create a mixed media / collage type of artwork on my panel so that my candle wax appeared to be dripping / running. When I picked up my panel at Zoetropolis I realized the area the exhibition would be held in would be lower lighting than a traditional gallery setting; so, I immediately began to ponder ways to make my piece flicker like a candle in that setting. Driving home it occurred to me that if I used glitter on some of the papers it may give my piece that spark [or sparkle if you will] of a burning candle. Moving the piece from brighter light to a lower light situation definitely changes this piece and we can't wait to see it installed!
To see our artwork and what everyone's created for the exhibition: Check out "The Vigil" during December 2025 [official opening as part of First Friday] at 112 N Water St, Lancaster, PA 17603!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v5m64ly2e37c6uhrukospoqd/bafkreibdrvkdzn6s7eg5434f2keybvwlbtahymz2berfnarxk2viqfdce4)
