Michele,
There's something about a candle that calls to artists. Years ago I had to try something very similar to this with my daughter (I'm guessing this is your daughter), it didn't turn out nearly this good.
Since you insist on posting this in the critique section I'll give you this: her left hand, as it wraps over to meet the table closest to us, the shadow line seems to abrupt. It does improve as it goes up the arm, but I'm talking about the area of the hand. To my eye this is the highest /sharpest contrast in your painting.
