Night Skies (detail of Moon added)

I love the Night skies.
Here in the Northern section of North America we have beautiful skies.
We have wonderful cloud formations/deep blues and an ever changing vista when we look up to the Heavens.
My favorite, has always been the night skies.
I live just a few minutes from Calgary,Alberta, Canada,
We are still we are in an area where our skies are not marred by the glow from the urban centers.
The Nights here allow one to star gaze, watch the Northern Lights when they dance above us, and to enjoy the ever constant changing blues of the night.
My Latest:
"Night Skies"
Acrylics and mixed media on cradled Birch Panel
20" X 20"

Thank-you Diane. I think I achieved a very minimalist approach to this with modern twists.
I love the simplicity of the Native style art that says so much without being detailed.
And Yes, I agree, I, as well love the Moon, I will try to get a decent close-up of it and add it.

I love the night skies piece, it looks like the skies I wish I could see over here in the UK. Sadly, light pollution means we generally see an orange glow everywhere and no stars :-(

Thank-you Keith.
Your comments have pleased me as, I am often trying to portray (in my own way) what I see.
And, yes I am blessed to live in a part of Canada that while very close to Calgary still has beautiful night skies that are full of planets and stars for the most part. The Northern Lights are my Joy though!
