7 Day Above Challenge-12th Jan

  
   Day 1 of 7 #pixels7day Above Us Challenge

Memory of the incredible Aurora Borealis, Churchill, Manitoba, Canada, while taking part in the 1996 Prairie Visions group art exhibit sponsored by the Manitoba Arts Council.

Original digital painting/composition, not based on a photograph. Prints up to 10.75" x 24". I love paying tribute in traditional, & new media painting, to the wonders of nature.


  

PS...Canadian TV viewers may well remember 'The Friendly Giant' who always invited viewers to "look up, look waaaay up..."

Just captured this with the phone:

My Day 7 piece for #pixels7 day Above Us Challenge.    Thanks Abbie -- great topic, fun run.



Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

When this blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, through the night.

Then the traveller in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see where to go,
If you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveller in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Poem by Jane Taylor (1783-1824)

Well done everyone.... We are now over 7 days in XX

Fabulous challenge!
