Galaxy Gazing

I recent learned that because we are at the edge of our Milky Way galaxy, the view of night sky in the northern hemisphere shows both arms of our spiral galaxy. I tried to capture that in this painting.

Painted on 8” square paper including a narrow blue border.

Painted with highly lightfast gouache and watercolor paint and on hot press 300 GSM 100% cotton paper. #painting #gouache #astronomy #landscape
