An Accidental Force of Nature

When we look at a Hubble photo , it's difficult to really understand the vastness of what you're really viewing.

Take a beautiful cloud of dust and gas in a nebula. That beautiful dust and gas cloud stretches for thousands of light years. A truly unimaginable distance.

Yet , it randomly moved to its present form over millions if not billions of years.

When I use a Hubble photograph showing that kind of "accidental nature" as a point of departure,  I'm inspire to see how my splashes of acrylic ink, rubbing alcohol , and squirts of water achieve the same kind of relative phenomenon and have the colors find their own path on the canvas.

But, if you think about it, the results are kind of the same.  Each process becomes its own force of nature that is beautiful in its color and design.  The force of gravity or an artists guiding hand are its only mediating factors.

I think that's pretty cool.

What do you think ?
