This aurora piece captures the Northern Lights at their most graceful—ribbons of green and soft magenta drifting across a deep purple, star-studded sky. The glow feels almost tangible, as if the light is reaching down and brushing the landscape in quiet motion. I aimed for realism, but also for that sense of awe that comes with standing under a sky that feels alive. The brushwork stays smooth and intentional, letting the color shifts and soft edges carry the moment.
