I love this Uranus painting and couldn’t help but admire the candle light reflecting on the glossy varnish. This painting is still available:

Two separate wood slices shown together. These celestial moths were drawn, then painted and varnished. Wood slices purchased from local CO business, then sanded and drilled by me. Moon phases and small details done with metallic paint.

I have one Orion wood slice with semi precious fluorescent stones almost done!
Just need to add the fluorescent paint details (only visible under UV light).

Here’s a picture showing this Orion Wood Slice Painting in sunlight and UV light - along with info about the glowing mineral used in Orion’s Belt! #geology #sciart #astroart #space #spaceart
This glowing mineral is Scapolite variety Hackmanite from Greenland. Tenebrescent scapolite is a rare, semi-precious gemstone that temporarily changes color when exposed to UV light.

If you’re in Tucson AZ for the mineral show, stop by Mineral City, Building C, room C11 (Way Too Cool LLC) to see my work in person! I used semi-precious fluorescent stones inlaid into these constellation paintings & fluorescent paint details!

I carved out the stars and am using a UV light while I inlay fluorescent rocks into this wood slice painting. (Second photo shows the rocks lit up with the UV light!)
