36” x 30”   oil, acrylic, colored pencil, pastel, marble dust on canvas   SOLD
I had a very strong image in my mind of concentric circles around a bright object in space so I painted it.  To give the painting more interest I added the clouds and stars of marble dust.  Then more color and lines were added and finally the lovely Norway Spruce tree silhouettes were painted into the foreground.  I realized after finishing the painting that there are quite a few different kinds of northern lights - moon, stars, aurora borealis, fireflies and sometimes fireworks.
