Out of this World

Lately I've been completely obsessed with space. Perhaps its because I recently took an astronomy class, but most likely it's because I love the contrast of black and cobalt blue that always seems prevalent in space. So, I decided to make a painting based off this photo of a "tarantula nebula": 


Stunning right? Well I decided to flip this image and made this: 


Comparing the two side by side is kind of disappointing, but I'm still so happy with the way it turned out! Also, after seeing this glowing "star jar" on pinterest: 


I decided to make the stars in my painting glow in the dark! I just used a craft store brand t-shirt glow-in-the-dark gel and applied it with a brush over the white dots.
