"Orion" original acrylic on canvas painting, 48" x 36"
Orion’s Belt is perhaps one of the most prominent and identifiable constellations. Observable with the naked eye, it is familiar and brings me peace. It has been the object of great scrutiny in the past. It has helped to improve our understanding of star formations and planetary systems. It is a symphony of collapsing clouds and dust. So vast, yet so still. I was inspired by my love of the constellation, to paint the Orion Nebula. I compiled and created this image from my understanding of the diffuse nebula. I enjoyed the abstract approach of painting this piece. It is a recognizable entity, however the painting is derived from my own perception and not literal. I used rhythm and splatter and feeling to paint this. It is a progression of my style. I used to attempt perfection, in vain. Portraying space clouds and nebulae frees me from the need for "perfection". Whatever that is. #minnowtowhale

I'm blown away! Always thought that space and galaxy images were nature's work of art, but you're bringing the universe onto canvas is more artsy than nature.
