Luna has always felt like she belonged among the stars.
Ursa Major is a watercolor portrait of Luna, a black bear set against a deep, celestial sky of indigo, violet, blue, and tiny scattered stars. A delicate arc of gold moves behind her, connecting the grounded presence of the bear to the enormous night sky surrounding her.
The title comes from Ursa Major, the Great Bear, one of the most recognizable constellations in the northern sky. I loved the idea of taking that ancient bear in the stars and bringing her back down to earth as Luna.
There is something quiet about this painting. Luna isn’t roaring or moving through the landscape. She is simply there, looking out into this enormous universe, while the universe seems to move around her.
It is a painting about the wild, the night sky, and the strange little connections we have been drawing between the two for thousands of years.
