Auroral display over Pottsville, Pennslyvania
Sketch and Details by Janis Romer
It was an enormous auroral display that was seen as far south as Arizona. This is what I saw from my balcony. Rather than appearing like the graceful arcs of light you see in photos, the aurora appeared to me as flickering white “blocks” with rays. There were two huge red aurora “clouds” book ending it. I sketched it exactly as I saw it, without any effort to make it conform to common knowledge.
Sketch was made March 12, 1989 using Conte’ pastel pencil on black pastel paper at Pottsville, Pa. Original is 12″ x 24″
Wow! Janis that is a fantastic sketch you have captured something very special there with your exceptional talent.
Thanks for sharing, Dale
Janis,
Stunning sketch. I would call this a well placed artist to capture the view.
