The compositions for these celestial paintings can go on into infinity. It is one of the most natural subjects for me to paint and hones my intuition. It's interesting because I can be compulsively working with one color and then 'out of the blue' I'll get an impression like "use red now." My first respsonse is generally resistance but I usually go along with the impression and it always works out well.  As I am painting, I wonder whether I am actually painting a constellation that is 'out there' and I'm just tuning into it unconsciously. I suppose it doesn't matter, but I am curious.  Any astronomers out there???

Today's Quotation: "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and I could say, "I used everything that you gave me."
