I paint the universe but I’m running out of paint.

This was originally the escape pod carrying R2D2 and C3PO (which is now the small moon- it is a small moon, not a death star) with Tatooine in the background (now the planet) but it didn’t work out and I like to try and rescue canvases where I can. </p>http://spaceoncanvas.tumblr.com/post/32195621060http://spaceoncanvas.tumblr.com/post/32195621060Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:33:26 +0100artpaintingacrylicmountainlandscapemoonscapespacegalaxyspiralspiral galaxyasteroidmoonplanetstarscraterstar warsescape podc3por2d2<p>Thanks very much! I like your blog. Awesome weird. Yeah so I can paint but I cannot take photographs to save my life. It’s extremely irritating. Your idea of scanning is probably wise in this case. </p>http://spaceoncanvas.tumblr.com/post/31157882256http://spaceoncanvas.tumblr.com/post/31157882256Sun, 09 Sep 2012 00:42:32 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma1xu97wl11rpe5woo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Finally finished.

Thought I’d whip up a couple of 7x7cm canvasses to show my geekdom. In case you’re wondering, one is a painting of the moon from the moon and the other is a painting of the earth from the earth. Yeah it makes sense. Just kinda hurts my brain.</p>http://spaceoncanvas.tumblr.com/post/30908157130http://spaceoncanvas.tumblr.com/post/30908157130Wed, 05 Sep 2012 02:46:13 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5k77gh4ks1rpe5woo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Yeah I don’t think I like it. The ridge is annoying and breaks up the picture too much and Neptune just looks scrappy. Much tweaking needed. I’m also uncomfortable with the fact that Triton is not black and white but mostly white and Neptune would be twice the size if you were actually there. Bleugh. </p>http://spaceoncanvas.tumblr.com/post/25021416938http://spaceoncanvas.tumblr.com/post/25021416938Wed, 13 Jun 2012 15:06:51 +0100spaceartspace artpaintingmoonmoonscapeneptunetriton<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5iyz6d3Ai1rpe5woo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Clementine 2 in progress… gunna be neptune in the background when I can figure out how big to make it</p>http://spaceoncanvas.tumblr.com/post/24980044925http://spaceoncanvas.tumblr.com/post/24980044925Tue, 12 Jun 2012 23:11:29 +0100spaceartspace artpaintingneptuneclementinemoonplanettriton<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5if0n4bT21rpe5woo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>So most people have probably seen this image of the recent transit of Venus. A superb photo which I decided to knock up into a painting for my Dad for fathers day. I like space. He likes planes. It seemed to be something we could both enjoy.

This is inspired by one of the designs in that book. I wasn’t sure about the suggested colours for mars so I dulled it down a bit. I might touch it up some more if I get the time but I’m not unhappy with it.</p>http://spaceoncanvas.tumblr.com/post/24954545877http://spaceoncanvas.tumblr.com/post/24954545877Tue, 12 Jun 2012 15:48:33 +0100spacespace artartpaintingmoonmarsphobosdiemosice capscraters<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5hbhwccRU1rpe5woo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I had to change the surface of the moon.
