The Milky Way from Cranberry Island, Maine

This is a watercolor of the Milky Way from Little Cranberry Island off the coast of Maine.  I used a beautiful painting by Jennifer Lawson as a model.  Twice in my life, I have seen beautiful views of the Milky Way--once at an evening lab session for an Astronomy class at Humboldt State University; and the other time was when I was camping with my wife and children at the Grand Canyon.  Both times, the view was awe-inspiring.  This painting could not be used in an Astronomy class, but I hope it captures some of the beauty of the Milky Way.
