Campfire Under the Northern Lights

Mgiese84 07 Oct 2022

I was waiting for more white canvases to arrive and had one black one left so here's how I used it. I didn't have any more black gesso BR paintings to do so I thought I'd use it for Bob's birthday submission. I wanted to do something with the Northern Lights since Bob spent so many years in Alaska. However I didn't feel like a mountain so did this instead.

Very pretty and the flames on the campfire reminds me of Disney for some reason.

Thanks Jeff. I kind of used Bobs technique he used in “Campfire”. Put crimson on the black gesso and then hit it with cad yellow

I really love that fire. Just add some marshmallows and it looks like a perfect evening!

Really nice, never been lucky enough to see the northern lights as they don't reach this far down the UK, those look magical.
