An Alluring Fascination by A. Wier
8" x 10" Acrylic on Canvas
Part of a benefit auction.

Reflections on the piece: When I started this piece, I tried hard to imagine what it would be like to see something for the first time, something I could only imagine. I wanted to purvey this idea of an awestruck moment, that would capture even the wariest of eyes. Something that would create that first-time memory that one never forgets, almost pulling you into the moment. The northern aurora , below the watchful eyes of a wandering leopard seemed like the perfect subject for just that.
