The Sky Is Awake

"The Sky Is Awake" 

5"x7" Original Watercolor And Pen On Paper

                                

It's amazing when you get away from the city lights and the over glow of surrounding towns. Up in the U.P. over Memorial Day weekend Tanar and I were really honestly able to watch the stars.

 It takes your breath away. 

I tried a little experiment with this painting. I painted the colors of the sky first, blending the paints together the way I wanted and then while it was still wet I sprinkled on some salt. It's just table salt and you could do this at home but I really enjoy the effect. 

This is closer detail of it. You can see where the salt broke up the pigment. Cool huh?
