I paint with acrylics on watercolor paper, using the process of layering the paint and scratching back to reveal unique colors and textures in my paintings.
 
Galaxy - an  abstract painting for my space theme.   I was inspired by a photo that showed brightly lit stars upon stars filling the space with a caption that said something like "how space actually is." That gave me the idea to paint an image of lots of stars on the page.
I laid down colorful spirals and and curving lines and then put in spheres in small to larger sizes as if they are expanding out into space. It was fun to paint getting to play with lots of color.
