This painting was my donation for the 2010 Wisconsin Public Television Annual Auction. It too garnered a large donation by way of being auctioned. I attempted to reproduce the glow of the aurora in the lighter areas. This weather phenomena causes viewers to stare in hushed awe at its ever-changing shapes and colors. Its silence while seeming to be alive is eerie yet fascinating. Every autumn and winter I check the night sky for a view of the aurora but seldom see one.This aurora is over Split Rock Lighthouse, an often-visited lighthouse located on the north shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota.
