Default Northern Light

Here is a light I finished not too long ago. It was designed and built with the north in mind. I have spent a lot of my time in the north of Canada and define it in my own mind as the pine trees and the northern lights which I have tried to capture in this lamp. It is 28" high.
Enjoy!

Default Northern lights

I have always wanted to see the northern lights, and since moving to Western NY, the meteorological conditions have not been just right yet, but your lamp is very striking, and indeed, it does, in my mind, bring that vision to the fore front of my conciousness. Well done, if art is indeed in the eye of the beholder, I'm holding my eye!!

That indeed captures the spirit of the lights and arctic stunted and wind swept trees. I like it a lot and I'm not into lamps at all.

Please go to the top of the page, click on "User CP" and edit your profile to show your location.

I don't live that far from the Canadian north, we may even be close enough together to meet up sometime. That'd be a treat.
