Work in Progress

I’m exploring the creative process right now. This is a sketch for a long term project that I’m working on:

4×6 paintings of celestial bodies. Pictured in this sketch are:

The Sun (Eminence) ; Mercury (Messenger)

Venus (Seductress) ; Earth (Marble)

Mars (Warrior) ; Jupiter (Cyclops)

Saturn (Timekeeper) ; Uranus (Sidewinder

       Neptune (Poseidon) ; Pluto and Charon (Unsung Heroes)

This work is still in it’s earliest stages. This is only the second series of sketches I’ve made for it. The project is meant to be a gift to my husband, who is a neat-o space scientist! He tells me that there will be a satellite (New Horizons) taking never-before-seen imaging of Pluto in 2014. Since I’m aiming for science-esque accuracy, I forsee this project taking those images into account. That makes this just the right topic to monitor my progress over the years with!

Wish me luck! More cat photos soon. Maybe.
