One of my latest pieces. Mixed Media on Wood using Constellation Maps.

I love this piece in its entirety but, there is something special about this detail on its own.

I was asked to be a part of the very cool FE5TIVAL event. It was the 8th anniversary fundraiser and celebration for the NURTURE THE CREATIVE MIND FOUNDATION which is youth non-profit organization. It was a great night held at the Historic Union Station Building in Ogden. This was my first time live painting and I had a blast. I was a little unsure about the time constraints of doing a live piece but I was able to do this quick piece in about 4 hours. I used Mixed Media on canvas with collaged constellation maps and painted papers. I usually paint on wood, so the give on the canvas was weirding me out a little..but I ended up with a lovely crocodile-riding girl under a starry sky. It is entitled Lasso the Moon and was auctioned off at the end of the night for this great cause. Thank you for FE5TIVAL5!
