Dance of the Sky Dragons

Dance of the Sky Dragons is a twist on Puff Puff Painting’s aurora borealis tutorial. I love, love, love her. She makes painting feel accessible and joyful, and she fully embraces the mess—encouraging you to stop over-perfecting your art. Something I need to hear daily, if I’m being honest.

Visually, my painting turned out very similar to the tutorial, but I was able to see beyond that. I wasn’t just painting a beautiful night sky—I was, once again, turning to my ancestors for guidance. The lights weren’t the Northern Lights. They were generations watching, guiding, moving nimbly through the sky above me.

That’s what inspired Dance of the Sky Dragons.

Dance of the Sky Dragons​​​

The light reflects a thousand times, yet appears as one.

The ancestors watch—they're always watching. Moving through the sky, seeing their souls mirrored in the generations they helped shape, and experiencing great joy knowing the light is carried forward.

​Always.
