Shooting Stars

This is a watercolor picture, “Shooting Stars” that I started over a year ago, with just the background, which I just finished last week. I made about 10 of these backgrounds, and then later I try to decide what to add to them, if anything. This one needed some foliage in the foreground, and the person and stars came later. It’s a long process, sometimes. But I like how it turned out so it was worth the wait.

I am using this painting and 3 others to enter an individual grant competition the state has every year. For people who don’t think the arts should get any public money — oh yes they should! Most artists are lucky to make any money at all on their work, especially paintings, which seem to be everywhere online.

This is approximately 28″ X 22″ unmatted, on heavy watercolor paper, and predominantly a dark painting with lots of reds and other warm colors.

If you are interested in a print or cards, those are coming.
