Northern Lights Original
Story Behind The Art
9x12 Original gouache painting on paper
Inspired by the awe-inspiring magic of nature, this gouache painting captures the breathtaking beauty of the Northern Lights. I had the chance to witness this natural wonder firsthand while flying over the UK on our journey home from Europe—an experience that was nothing short of magical, watching the vibrant colors dance alongside the plane.
The striking hues in this piece are a nod to the science behind the aurora, where oxygen creates green tones (or in my paintings case, blue) and nitrogen produces shades of purple. Hang this artwork as a daily reminder to slow down, find wonder in the world, and embrace the beauty all around us.
Care
To ensure the longevity of your piece please frame right away. Natural light and exposure to air or water are the enemy of artwork. A glass frame (as opposed to plastic) is always preferred. Choose a spot on the wall out of direct sunlight. For original artworks I always suggest having them framed by a professional framer for a sealed back that further portects your artwork.
