Dance of the Northern Lights

I love the northern lights: it’s one of the great mysteries of the night sky. I can remember many evenings standing on the end of the dock in Northern Ontario and looking up at the night sky, listening to the haunting call of the loons in the background and the throaty calls of the bull frogs and watching the incredible display of the northern lights.

This painting is part of a series that I did on the northern lights. Cool colours with an underlay of warmth help to make these northern lights shimmer and create a lot of motion in this picture.
