Pieces of ‘Neowise’ coming together. Early stages ✨🙂
Here are some pieces of my current painting in progress. I was inspired to make a large scale painting back in the summer this year around comet NEOWISE which was soaring our skies at the time. I left it to breathe for the past few months as I psyched myself up to continue. I do this sometimes when I want to capture an idea and expression to work on later..
These past few weeks I have been looking up a lot more at night skies and capturing the stars and milky way with my camera. I even got to see the rings of Saturn and those stripy stormy belts of Jupiter AND it’s moons, And Andromeda galaxy.. That wasn’t with my camera, but with a small astronomy/star gazer group, Galactic Ireland that I ventured out with recently up in the Sugar Loaf here in Wicklow.
So today was one of those days where everything seemed to align and I am fearless and feeling energetic with this painting.. excited!
