One of the halo speedpaintings I featured in my huge Skywatcher Guide. :aww:

Halos are caused by different types of hexagonal ice crystals in the upper troposphere, when the sun shines through them. The halos illustrated in this painting are:

:bulletblue: 22° halo (inner ring)
:bulletblue: 46° halo (outer ring)
:bulletblue: parhelic circle (horizontal line)
:bulletblue: sun dogs (triangles on the inner ring)
:bulletblue: upper and lower sun pillar (vertical flames on the sun)

Wacom Intuos 4, PS CS5, ~1 hour.

For some reason, I was once looking for sun dogs in Wikipedia. You made them really well here, the same goes for halos :D
