Portents 3

On November 11, 2025, I stood in my back yard in Northeast Texas and watched as the Northern Lights lit the sky, an experience I never expected to have. It was awe inspiring in the truest sense of the word. The Portents triptych is my visceral reaction to the experience of a lifetime.

Of course, I knew what I was looking at - there had been website updates, weather reports, and social media posts anticipating the event.  Even so, it was breathtaking and slightly unsettling to have my accepted reality shattered by a night sky suddenly an odd color.  I couldn't help but wonder how an ancestor of long ago would have reacted and what significance they would have attached to it all.

Original abstract art by artist Wanda Oliver done in oil paint and cold wax medium on cradled board, 8x8x1.5", November, 2025.  

Wanda is known for her use of exuberant color, lyrical lines, and sumptuous layered surfaces.

The surface of the painting is sealed with a layer of buffed cold wax. The sides of the cradled board are waxed, and the board is wired and ready to hang.  The board is designed to accommodate a floating frame, but no frame is necessary.
