The Lights

I have finally gifted this painting (had to wait to meet up with the recipient) and so am now finally able to share it. I wanted to give AB another attempt and although I prefer my first one to this, the rainbow of colour in this one does make me smile.  Unfortunately, the photo doesn't come close to showing the colours as vivid as they truly are. But I DO like the way I've filtered the trees in.

I am not entirely happy with this one, but I'm still learning to shush that inner perfectionist.

Northern Exposure

This was my version of the Northern Lights. I will do this again as there are so many different combinations of colour that are found in the Northern Sky when the lights can be seen and I want to capture as much as possible. This is one of my favourites. I adore the use of shadow and light in both paintings and photographs. Sometimes a simplistic colour scheme brings about the most dramatic results.
