Story:

The Aurora borealis is on my bucket list of things to see. And recently taught a class how to create galaxy paintings. So in preparation I did lots of experimenting. Trying different colors and shapes. Its a fun process of letting the colors mix and layering to reach the intensity you desire. Allowing the paints to be that loose and free can be a challenge for me. I like to render and make things look real. But I want to change that. I love what I paint, but I use watercolors. So I want to loosen up my style a bit. Creating these galaxy paintings has helped me and continues to help me.
