After my last abstract I wanted to try it out with my usual color palette and chose a photo of the milky way as reference. I admit, that kind of kept me from being open because I somehow tried to make it look like the milky way. At one point I tried to break free from it, which resulted in a rather chaotic painting. I was thinking about painting over it but after sleeping over it, I thought maybe I could still get some nice parts out of it. But I haven’t yet cut it up.
