Sunday Sketches - Tepee under the Northern Lights

Welcome to Sunday Sketches! This piece is called 'Tepee under the Northern Lights', it's done in acrylic on textured purple cardstock (6" x 6"). Unfortunately the scanned version doesn't show the fuschia colour I used for some the the lights, so I took a photo to show you the intended effect.  I have never seen the Northern Lights so this is based on some photos I saw.  The tepee is  lit up inside,  under the night sky.

    Beautiful painting, I saw them once in Scotland when I was a kid - but there were no tepees there! Hugs, Valerie

    I haven't seen the Northern Lights either but they must be amazing. A tepee would be a great place to watch them from.

    Love your painting! Isn't it amazing how photos and scans can never show the true colors? I think both color displays are beautiful though :)

    Thank you so much for the chocolate banofee biscuit balls recipe. They look SO delicious! I need to try this out *yum!* The video makes it look so easy :)

    Lots of hugs,
    Beate

    I like this very much Christine, as I have Cherokee Indian roots. Love the lights. I'm still trying to get my scanner to work.

    I've never witnessed the Northern Lights live either. However, based on videos and photographs I have seen, I believed you captured the feeling. Happy New Year!
