Illustration Friday - Universe

I started with a circle and the idea of looking through a telescope then I decided to just play and see what happened. I worked wet in wet, dropped in alcohol, salt and spattered paint. Then I fooled around with the background a little bit in Photoshop and stopped when I thought it looked interesting. It sort of looks contained so I'm not sure if it reads "universe" but I like the spacey design and texture.  ;)

Love the texture and colour here :0) (And your portraits are just stunning!) Thank you for your kind comment on my blog by the way - made me smile.

Love how the inner part of the circle seems contained, but the outside is a glowing halo & free-form beyond. Very cool use of materials!
