Northern Light Nights
A sweeping northern lights (aurora borealis) scene over a calm mountain lake at night, with tall dark evergreen trees on a rocky shoreline in the right foreground and snow-dusted purple mountains receding into the left background. The dominant palette is deep cobalt blue, electric cyan, and violet, with bright white star bursts and scattered dots of light reflected in the glassy water below. The composition draws the eye from the luminous aurora swirling through the upper sky down into the mirrored lake surface. Painted in a smooth acrylic style with soft blending and moderate detail; the combination of aurora, reflections, and starbursts makes this a moderately complex piece.
