Dawns gold and yellow captured by artist
I believe the answer is:
aurora
'dawns gold and yellow captured by artist' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'gold and yellow captured by artist' is the wordplay.
'gold' becomes 'Au' (Au is the chemical symbol for gold).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'yellow' becomes 'or' (heraldic term).
'captured by' indicates putting letters inside.
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'or' going within 'ra' is 'rora'.
'au'+'rora'='AURORA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aurora that I've seen before include "Northern or southern lights" , "Orange" , "Display of lights in the night sky" , "Coloured lights in sky" , "Roman Godess of the Dawn" .)
