^^ That's a fascinating and frightening tale. My trip to the Amazon for a copy will no doubt be less Sam Spade and more Indiana Jones. 
Congrats for being published.

I made two new paintings.
One of an abstract planet/stars.
And one of a tree on a dark summer night:

I like the planet. Are you planning on doing more Astronomical themes?
The Summer night is great, too. Reminds me of sleeping out in the backyard when I was a kid. Very relaxing.

This Thread is fine for that. We've had a variety of art types Posted here already. Let's see what you've got.

I just got another one done, this time with some winter:
This painting is so beautiful.
I was just having a look through this whole thread and l have to say there are quite a few lovelly paintings
I think there should be a reboot of The Joy Of Painting with blab as host. 
If she's up for it, perhaps tsq can tag-team hosting duties.
(This is meant as a true compliment because: 1) both are EXCELLENT painters; 2) TJOP totally rocked. )

I did another one that's a sort of nebula wormhole type thing with the Satellite of Love in front of it.
It's hanging in my kitchen right now til someone decides to buy it.
I don't know if this counts as astronomy but I also made a deep night sky with tiny forest as well a while back.
Which I really need a better picture of now that I look at it again. The sky doesn't have that weird red tint it's just black up top. Stupid light refracting.
Nice work. I like the the detail; and the shading and light are very well done.
Heh. The good ol' Satellite of Love.
It looks like it's emerging into our Universe. We could sure use it. 
Still nice, though. I love those scenes of the country night sky.
I went back to my bread and butter as it were and made a tree.
I should do an experiment to see what has a greater affect on how my trees turn out, the music I'm listening to my mood or possible a comb of the two.

Hmm. Put on "Bungle In The Jungle" while painting and see what happens.
That's a beautiful tree, as always. I like how the fractal pattern of the limbs combines with the pattern of the clouds to create a feeling of electricity.
Maybe you should combine two themes and paint trees on an asteroid or something.

Ok, blab, I've done it. I've painted. I started my own thread, more for beginner technical advice, but now that I've got something to show for myself I guess it's appropriate to put them in here.
This has been an interesting experience. I am someone who can draw anything as exactly as I see it. Using a pencil or pen I am in control and can make very realistic images. With a paintbrush I am starting from scratch, and that has been at once terrifying and liberating. My first two pictures aren't great, but they're not too horrible! Any constructive criticism is welcome!
First picture I ever painted! :

I love your clouds.
I really have no criticism because it's just such a learning curve. You just play and see what comes out. Yours have a very whimsical much more abstract feel than I make but that's the fun thing about painting, everyone is different.
I find myself jealous of other people's talent and visions but you got to do what you do which for me involves a ton of trees.

^^ Other people are also jealous of your talent, including me. The trees are always greener in the other person's yard.
Wow, deja vu all over again. I think it's very nice for a first painting. Actually very nice for an umpteenth painting. Were the faces deliberate?
Very arresting. The angle of the clouds really grabs the eye. Is that fireworks in the middle?
Thanks, guys. The clouds were interesting to paint, I haven't decided whether or not I enjoyed painting them.
Blab, I love your trees! I also love your forests.

those are lovely. I love this type of art. The first one reminds me of impressionism.
This counts as painting as I hand painted the disc and the turtle but onto soap:
^^ Haha. That's great. 
Here's some art for you:
