One Night in Nain

One Night in Nain is a 7″x9″ acrylic painting capturing the quiet poetry of northern Labrador after sunset. Painted from a memory of a reporting trip, this piece holds the stillness of a single night spent writing about groceries, community, and the daily realities of Nain.

A full yellow moon hangs low over the hills, glowing against a deepening sky. Its light spills across the small houses below, brushing their blue roofs and pale walls with warmth. Telephone poles and power lines cut softly through the scene—a reminder of connection, distance, and the everyday stories woven into northern life.

The piece carries the feeling of a place that stays with you: calm, remote, and unexpectedly luminous.
