Northern Lights - Remarque #2/7

Edition Date: 2014
Artist: Roy Henry Vickers 
Medium: Remarque 
Image Size: 27" x 18"

I have wondered how to create a rendition of the northern lights for over twenty years. Two summers ago, my son, William, took a beautiful photograph of the northern lights from our home in Hazelton, and that photo renewed my desire to create. When the desire is strong and it keeps coming back, I’ve learned that the final achievement is close when it comes to creating new images. These past few weeks, there have been some awesome displays of the aurora borealis looking north from our home, and I have finally sat down and designed this rendition of the northern lights. It’s incredible how I complicate things when the saying “Keep it simple” always seems to apply. I finally created this rendition by keeping it simple. I love how inspiration works; the result is beyond what I had hoped for.
