2011 TSP Peoples Choice...

This is a watercolor painting I did of the summer milky way, I entered it into the Astro Art contest at the 2011 Texas Star Party and it won the Peoples Choice award. I am excited about it and was very glad to have a very good friend present me with the award and she even told everyone that this was my first TSP, Becky thank you for talking me into going and for encouraging me to enter something. Now I need to start painting for next years TSP.

Below are some of the pages from my sketch book, even though we only had a few nights of clear skies I managed to get in quite a bit of observing in that time.
