Revontulet : 2026-02

Revontulet
09 February 2026
Acrylic on hardboard
10 x 10 inches (25.4 x 25.4 cm)


I wanted to make another abstract painting and this is what happened. To me it is an abstraction of the Northern Lights. Revontulet is Finnish for Northern Lights (aurora borealis). It seemed a strong word to match the angles. There are only two stage pics (below) and this is an instance where I could've taken about 20-30 pics. It was not going as planned. That might be a funny thing to say about abstract work, but for me there's still the question of 'is it correct'? Does it resonate with me?

The initial board (I loved the background) and one other pic along the way.

Revontulet is about 1.5" deep and in this case, a raw wood museum wrap.
