Inspired by The Eclipse!

Curly Bob's regular fans will know by now that his thought processes are different from most other people. While he was having breakfast this morning he was very interested in watching the news coverage of the partial solar eclipse.

His selection processes, of which items to post from my back catalogue, can be triggered by the most obscure events. After he had polished off his latest jar of French honey from the "Happy Bees Honey Farm" in Provence he leapt into action. A quick rummage in the loft produced two works from 2011. They were both based on my  attempts to render an image I had seen on an astronomy programme some years before.

 I explained there was no sun involved in either of these works. However Bob was having none of it so here is "Space Dust #2", an oil on canvas. It involved copious amounts of Liquin medium and thin paint poured from a great height. I would not recommend this method unless you have a sound constitution and a well ventilated room/studio in which to work, especially in high summer.


"Space Dust #1" will be put to sale on the Botany Bay branch of Curly Bob's Art Emporium at some later stage and will be posted on this blog at that time.
