Starry Nights Painting Series

Starry Nights is a series of paintings inspired by the night sky. The main drive of the series is the reimagining of the 80+ official constellations. There are a few surprises in the series as well. With the high number of constellations, and my tendency to add even more to projects like this, Starry Nights is a long-term project and is in progress.
