Northern Ligthts - Falling star paintings

It's in the -30s today. It is going to be in the -40s tomorrow with the windchill, so what better time to paint a cold crisp winter night. "Shooting Star" is an acrylic aceo (2.5" x 3.5") painted on paper canvas. It has a bit of "glitter" to give it that frosty starlit look.
"Northern Lights" is a 4" x 4" acrylic painting. I find it wierd that square seemed to be harder to paint than rectangle? I have no idea why. This one also has glitter, but I added just the slightest hint of blue and green in the northern lights to add to the magic :)
You will find them both listed on Ebay here

Meteorite at Buzzard Coulee, Sk - Northern Lights


I painted two new aceo (art card editions & originals) today. Both winter scenes, but the first one depicts a strange event that took place over Saskatchewan and Alberta November 20. A large meteorite burned through earth's atmosphere and was seen by both provinces. My daughter saw it and said the scene was spectacular!!! Pieces were found in and around a pond near the Buzzard Coulee region in Saskatchewan
So I named the first painting "Meteorite and Buzzard Coulee"
The bottom aceo is a winter night scene with Northern Lights shining down on a lone snowman.
Both are listed on Ebay here.
