Yesterday was Art Day in homeschool land. The boys love to paint and insisted that I join them. So, I’ll share my little project. They like to tease me a little, because the only thing I really paint is stars. I can’t wait to hang this in my basement library!
I picked up this little slice of birch wood at Hobby Lobby and some screw-on brass hangers for the back. It made for a nice, smooth painting surface. I used craft-grade acrylics.
Wow! That’s beautiful!
First, yeah for homeschooling 
Second, that’s a beautiful painting.
Wow!! This is gorgeous 
Thanks so much! 
As they say, practise makes perfect. Lovely!
You definitely excel at starry night scenes! What a lovely addition to your basement!
Thank you!
How can you run out of sky to paint? It’s infinite! I love the idea of the universe being in a small slice of tree.
Just gorgeous, and I love what you chose to use as your canvas. Amazing!
Wow! That’s really pretty!!!
Thank you!
Beautiful! You rock the skyscapes!!
Mesmerizing! It reminds me of being up in the mountains.
Thank you!
I’m afraid I live too close to a city to get a decent view of the stars. I dream of having a cabin in the middle of nowhere where the sky looks like this on a clear night.
That is absolutely dreamy! GORGEOUS!
Stunning! Love the colors and the mood!
Thank you! I’m going to try using some reference photos next time, I think. There’s a local photographer (Michigan Milky Way) that does the most gorgeous night sky pictures, and I’d love to try something closer to reality.
Pretty!
What a sweet painting. The sky looks like it’s on fire with hot-cool purple light.
