This oil painting depicts a tranquil night scene in a rural landscape. The central theme is the reflection of the Milky Way galaxy in a puddle on a dirt road, creating a visual metaphor for the interconnectedness of the Earth and the cosmos. It speaks to the beauty and wonder of the natural world, and our place within the grand scheme of the universe.
I've always been fascinated by the night sky and the vastness of space. One evening, while walking on a quiet country road, I noticed the reflection of the stars in a puddle. It struck me as a beautiful and profound image, and I knew I had to capture it in a painting. The scene reminded me of our connection to the universe, how even the smallest puddle can hold a reflection of the cosmos. I wanted to share this sense of wonder and perspective through my art.
