Lyrics:
[voice of Carl Sagan]

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe

Space is filled with a network of wormholes
You might emerge somewhere else in space
Some when-else in time

The sky calls to us
If we do not destroy ourselves
We will one day venture to the stars

A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way

The Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths
Of exquisite interrelationships
Of the awesome machinery of nature

I believe our future depends powerfully
On how well we understand this cosmos
In which we float like a mote of dust
In the morning sky

But the brain does much more than just recollect
It inter-compares, synthesizes, analyzes
it generates abstractions

The simplest thought like the concept of the number one
Has an elaborate logical underpinning
The brain has its own language
For testing the structure and consistency of the world

A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way

The sky calls to us...

nice work, it's neat to see your process of blocking in colours.

[tinsquo]

Thanks! The "blocking in" has the added benefit of building up the surface and eliminating the tooth of the canvas to allow for a glass-like finish while engaging a reuse policy for paint.

[micidragan]

Its crazy, and I would never think of making this. It is beautiful just because of that. Your are special just as all the moths are.

[bcpsleeperkid4]

i favorited this simply b/c it is probably the most ridiculous thing i have seen this month.

[DrBadnick]

[jtebeau]

[CJ9M]

That's.. an incredibly weird painting.
