HYAKUTAKE IN DREAMS by Danielle Rose Baker. A pearlescent watercolor painting on black paper of comet Hyakutake, which appeared in 1996 as a beautifully long, bright green-blue comet with a large icy core easily viewed with binoculars. It’s a vivid memory from the summer I graduated high school, and it’s stayed with me ever since.

ORION ILLUMINATED by Danielle Rose Baker. A pearlescent watercolor painting on black of the star-forming regions in the Orion Nebula, as seen by the NIRCam instrument of the James Webb Space Telescope on September 11, 2022. The image shows the Orion Bar, a dense wall of dust and gas containing a bright star, θ2 Orionis A. Complex structures are revealed in wavelengths of infrared radiation from ionized and molecular gases, dust, and scattered starlight.

SPECTRAL LAGOON by Danielle Rose Baker. A watercolor painting using pearlescent paints on black paper, depicting the Lagoon Nebula as images by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2018, seen as a cloudy blue, purple and reddish background with a foreground cascade of rainbow spectrum colors.

#SpacetoberChallenge day 20: #Telescope - I always come back to Hubble imagery, even though newer telescopes like JWST see more clearly in other wavelengths—this was the view of the universe that inspired me. Pearlescent #watercolor on black paper.

GRAVITY SWALLOWS LIGHT by Danielle Rose Baker. A pearlescent watercolor painting on black paper of a black hole, shown with black center ringed by metallic silver paint, which swirls clockwise outwards in ribbons of reds, oranges, pinks and golds, with tinges of black.

#SpacetoberChallenge day 15: #BlackHole - one I did last year but I like how it came out (and it sure does shimmer in the light!)

FAREWELL TO BENNU by Danielle Rose Baker. A watercolor painting of asteroid Bennu, trailing debris from the left, with an abstract mottled background in navy, purples and blacks. The sun, spacecraft OSIRIS-REx and a distant Earth are seen on the right-hand side.

A pencil sketch of the seven stars composing the Big Dipper, with lines connecting the constellation, in a chubby square lavender sketchbook. A gray Blackwing 602 pencil lies diagonally above the drawing.

A painting in progress of the SpaceX Starship/Super Heavy integrated flight test #4 and humanity’s first live video of plasma during reentry. A multicolor wash over the piece has been sprinkled with salt on the right side. The spaceship has been lightly outlined, which will later be inked in and more decorative details added. There will be… METALLICS. That is all.

Okay, so, I had my months-long art funk and I guess I’m done now. Back to the IFT-4 #wip with a fresh twist in mind. More to come.

One thing I love about using cooking ingredients to make space art is the diversity in patterns and textures I get.
