David Drum, Northern Lights presents a luminous, abstracted vision of an Arctic night transformed by auroral light. Vertical veils of turquoise, emerald, cobalt, and pale gold cascade through the deep blue sky, rendered with energetic, expressive brushstrokes that evoke the shifting curtains of the Northern Lights.

Below, a low, glowing horizon suggests distant water or snow reflecting the radiance above, while the foreground is built from dense, swirling blues and violets, textured to convey wind, cold, and movement across frozen ground or ice-covered water. Sparse, dark marks along the horizon hint at vegetation or distant forms, barely discernible against the brilliance of the sky.

Rather than a literal landscape, Northern Lights is an atmospheric and emotional response to northern space—capturing the awe, motion, and quiet intensity of light dancing across a vast, wintry night.
