Night Flight To Sirius

Night Flight To Sirius is about the dog  returning to the Dog Star when they leave this earth. I have always found it comforting to think about them in their happy hunting grounds. They have come to earth to give us love if we let them, and their lives are relatively short. We often grieve very deeply when they have gone. So ,as the world continues in it's business, so much is happening in the unseen worlds.  

It's a small oil painting. The sky is deep blue, black and with a purple and hellishly difficult to photograph and convey it's depth! The underpainting was created in oranges to allow a warmth to emanate through the darks.  The city scene with cars and buildings are symbolic of our chockablock lives that often don't allow us the time to stop and reflect (we must take that time - it is nver given to us). 

The signature is subtle on this one - I don't like big showy signatures because they detract from the work. It comes with a Certificate of Authenticity  too.
