Excellent depiction of the theme! The paint looks alive with light.

So far I have seen 2 other pictures using the same "take" on the theme. I think this is a good thing as it allows the photographer to compare similar pictures to their own.
You have managed to get the "light" into the picture without relying on a black background and have done it well - So well, it is let down a little by the unconvincing contents of the pot. I think the pot could have contained more" light". The light also seems to be on the paper rather than the brush.
I have cheated and tried something in photoshop which should be achievable using your technique. Give it a quick try and see what you think.
Clone the very bright area repetedly to fill the paintpot with light. clone the very bright area further up the brush. and most importantly clone the dribble down the side. It pulls the whole "painting with light" theme out of the picture

Fun idea - a literal interpretation, but very imaginative. Nice glowing effect. I'd skip the darker, green squiggles, and just have a bold sweep of the pink. The color in the pot is a bit too deep, doesn;t match the color of the brush.

Neat shot. I want to say that the bucket of paint looks as if it's not part of this shot. It doesn't seem to belong. ?Just a thought. I hope you do well in the challenge. 8

The black border is perhaps a little too thick but I like the use of black-light.

nice colors.. interesting to view...
but when I get analytical, I think the pink "paint" should have been red too like the brush... but, then again.... okay.. so this makes me think, which makes me look at it.. okay.. good job :P
