A wooden cottage stands still at the edge of a frozen lake, while above the mountains the northern lights dance in green and blue waves. A warm glow radiates from the windows, contrasting with the cool hues of snow and ice. Smoke gently billowing from the chimney tells that inside, the stove is burning. A refuge in a silent, icy world.
The painting is done in watercolour, with smooth transitions between blue, turquoise and white. The light reflections in the water and subtle shadows in the snow add depth and softness. Small details, such as the slight reflection of the northern lights on the lake, make this work vibrant and sophisticated.
This natural phenomenon occurs in countries around the Arctic Circle, such as Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Canada and Alaska. It occurs when charged particles from the sun collide with the earth's atmosphere. That collision causes the dancing play of light in the sky that has mesmerised people for centuries.
The atmosphere of this painting is at once cool and warm. The outside light is mysterious and grand, but the cottage radiates security. This work brings calm to an interior, perfect for nature lovers, travellers and dreamers longing for silence and wonder.
My love of travel and nature inspired me to create this painting using AI. An ode to the magic of the northern lights and the tranquillity of remote places.
