Hello friends, So, I've been experimenting lately with an idea I've had rumbling around in my head for some time: abstract astronomy-themed art. I'd read some stuff online about how astronomy art (though obviously not photography) is a waning field, and wondered if I could explore similar themes using my own quirky style. I've run across a handful of other artists who do conceptual, surreal, and abstract work, and the more I work at these ideas myself, the more interested I've become. I've completed two pieces so far and already have ideas for a few more. I have the images posted on my blog. The links below lead to my posts showing (and discussing), first, "Stellar Nursery," and second, "Beehive Cluster." I'm a little nervous about sharing these with you all, but would welcome any feedback you wish to provide. http://kellyricks.blogspot.com/2012/09/astronomy-art.html http://kellyricks.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-beehive-cluster.html Best, ~Kelly Ricks
