A Constellation Is Born Or Portrait Of Bearded Grinning Man Painting

This work took more than a month to make. The canvas was a bed sheet treated with numerous layers of gesso. It was inspired by a picture of star burst galaxy MCG+07-33-027 in the Andromeda strain, 2.5 million light years away. After completion of the paintwork my nephew helped me stretch and mount it, after which I added a seventh layer to the purple. Most of the colors I use are very transparent, so I have to apply numerous layers to get an even surface and highly defined lines. The measurements are just the sides, but because I hang the painting at an angle, from a corner, it becomes much larger. (73 x 73 inches) I use no tools or stencils, just sabre and synthetic brushes and watercolor-pencils sparingly. Even this large painting hangs from just one push-pin. I hope the viewer feels the same light vertigo that I do. With a different way of looking it is easy to see the grinning bearded man. Enjoy!
