Random Nebula

2 July 2018

Oh, this was a really good one.  It started out based on one particular nebula (I can’t remember which one – sorry) but ended up taking on a life of its own.There are some killer techniques there.  A bit of wet into wet, the sprinkling of salt over the cloud, some spattering of white to get the stars.

When I look closely at the painting, I can see a map of Texas, a dog, an angry cross-eyed penguin and the flag of Guinea.  Others have seen a fish skeleton, a twerking unicorn with chubby legs and various body parts.

This is the first painting I ever sold.  It was bought by the lady on the stand next to me at my village Christmas fair before the doors had even opened.  She tells me that she can see loads of poppies in the picture.  Later that afternoon, she also bought the Trees Against A Green Sky.
