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.
 
Starburst with Planets ~  Here I created a painting where planets are forming from an exploding star. I wanted to have the planets have the dark rich colors with the surrounding space lit up with bright warm colors. I liked the way it turned out as I am partial to yellow and orange colors, at least for a change.
 I goggled starburst and read that galaxes can be formed by exploding stars which I found interesting. Apparently, they are quite rare, only one percent, but I was supprised to see it actually does occur.
