Week 10. The Northern Lights are finished!

It's week 10 of my oil painting course and my second painting "Northern Lights" is finished!  I just had to brighten the moon once more, add a bit more light to the lights themselves and the fun part - spattering in the stars!!  It was brilliant fun getting my toothbrush out and spattering white paint onto my painting, the sky just came alive! I am so pleased with my painting, it is going to take pride and place by the Christmas tree over the festive period.

The finished piece!  As you can see this pic is hot off the press as it is still wet in parts!

The spattering technique is really effective for creating stars!
