Submergence Part 3: Cosmo Detail captures a glimpse of the evolving night sky in the upper right-hand corner of the canvas.
Today I added in the “Cosmo”—a constellation of stars and planetary forms that emerged intuitively. It’s not finished, but it’s what I was drawn to complete. Some days I paint for hours, covering vast ground. Today, it was a focused hour spent on that small corner, and I’m pleased with how it turned out.
There’s still a ring to be added around the planet—something reminiscent of Saturn’s iconic halo—but for now, I’m letting it breathe. The process continues to surprise me, unfolding moment by moment, brushstroke by brushstroke.
I’ll keep updating this space as the painting evolves.
