Mixed media – Acrylic paint with masking tape resist, and gold leaf
 
This piece was created at Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu, NM after seeing the full expanse of the Milky Way one night. I hadn't seen the Milky Way for at least a few years. There was almost a purity in seeing it so vividly after that much time had passed. The red figures were inspired by a colleague on retreat recalling a book she was reading on red lanterns.
