Light pollution is a shame. Of course, most places with any type of artificial light have little or no good stargazing. Light pollution is a shame.

You should write all that down. Make sure to include a statement about color accuracy, lest some future scientist think tree trunks were yellow and skies bright pink in the 21st century. Ced, that's cool about the star dating! I have no doubt some painters were very accurate in painting what they saw. I was wondering how the scientists told the accurate ones from the more "artistic" ones... Lisa, I'd forgotten about that. How accurate can you be with a limited palette? And amen about the draftsmanship - color is just like icing on the cupcake. Rita, I'm still a bit worried, since the actual painting isn't going to have the fine print on it. ;) And I can't wait to hear your vision - New Year's would be the perfect time to post it.

Now you can rest assured that it won't be used for climate change reference in the future and the universe will unfold as it should. Artistic vision, eh? I've thought about this a lot over the past few months and was going to do a post on my own blog closer to the impending New Year, you know, so I have more time to 'revise my vision'. :D Silly scientists...

My current artistic goal is to improve my draftsmanship. Pretty colors can't disguise a poorly drawn image.

Climate changes based on artist's skies. Help me up off the floor. This is a great post, Meg. I love your focus, and it helps me understand your art better, too. I think my grand vision is to grow as an artist. Be evocative. Hmmnn. Need to write all this down. Laughing hard at this one. Climate changes based on artist’s skies. Help me up off the floor.
