Description This was done over the course of three days, using only two brushes. A small round, and a medium flat. Just a random idea I had, and the ship, remarkably is called a Jonque, or even Junk. It's Chinese.
So the constellations are on there, in their rightful place (in relation to each other anyways). Comments and critiques are always welcome!
14x18, Acrylic on Matboard.

This picture is absolutely beautiful. The soft use of color and texture really work.

Your sig is beautiful. I really think this is marvelous.
I've never seen the constellations depicted interacting with the environment...

I'm listening to the song Safe Passage by Hans Zimmer, of the movie The Last Samurai, and it fits (to me).

This pretty grand. I've only seen Greek like constellations, not really from a Chinese view... altho I've heard of chinese astrology.

It's actually so much better in person! The painting is done with some high gloss paint mixture, (it started out with matte acrylic gel mix, and then I couldn't find it for about three weeks, so I had to use the gloss) It added more depth in person, but made taking a picture an awful ordeal.

I wish you could see what it actually looks like...

And thank you! lol.
