Mirrie Dancers over a Highland Loch – Scottish Aurora Canvas Wall Art

Hang a whole Highland night on the wall with this aurora burning over a dark loch, the light carrying on round the sides so the sky does not stop where the canvas does.

Green curtains fall from high in the sky down behind a pair of jagged peaks, thinning to violet and rose where they meet the last of the light on the horizon, and the loch below lies still enough to hold the whole thing a second time. In Scots the aurora is the Mirrie Dancers, the merry dancers, and on a hard frost in the far north it is a Scottish sight rather than a Nordic one. What makes the piece work at any size is the silhouette: the black mountain against a lit sky reads from right across a room, and the rough grass and lichened rock in the foreground give it somewhere to stand. Bare, the wrap carries the sky and the moor round all four edges and the canvas stops being a picture of a view and becomes a piece of one; framed, a wooden surround pulls the darks together and sets the whole scene back. Well suited to living rooms, bedrooms, home offices and hallways, and to dark, modern or Scandinavian interiors.

Printed on canvas stretched over a slim 2 cm wooden frame, which matters more on a night scene than on anything else in the range. A dark picture behind glass becomes a mirror the moment a lamp goes on behind you, and most of this image is deep blue and near-black. Canvas has no glass at all, so the sky stays a sky from every angle in a lit room.
