For the Love of Northern Lights paintings
I don't know what came over me. Like a mad rush. I just wanted to paint a northern lights scene, but the thought of so much dark on a large canvas surface, just intimidated me.
I started out small, an 8"x10" on canvas. I admit it was inspiring and it did have me in it's grip. So I did another one slightly larger.
All the while that I was doing these dark canvases I was certain I would never be able to sell one. Who else would identify with my love for this wonder of the dark night skies?
I painted 5, initially and all five sold in very short order and for very handsome prices I might add. Then I left it alone for a few years.
Shown here is from the new series of my latest Northern Lights paintings.
I'm really enjoying them. I wonder who else will share my passion for the night sky colours?
