The beautiful visions of star systems dancing in Lara Mayhew’s art, number 1
Sketch by Lara Mayhew, Details by Peter Mayhew
It being the festive season I thought I would post some fun art work by my daughter, Lara (aged 4). This was created in a device known as an “Art spinner” which spins a small card around very fast, and you drop poster-paint onto it with a dropper. It creates all sorts of nice astronomical effects. The challenge is trying to match the effects created with astronomical objects that you have yourself observed. I have my own ideas for each of these, but I’d be interested to see other peoples’ suggestions.
