Saturn fridge magnet I painted

[u/PurpleMNinja]

My mother had a shopping list page stack that had a magnet on the back that allowed her to stick it on the fridge. She went through all of the lists and gave the magnet to me, so I painted Saturn and its major moons onto it.

This was risky because I tried painting techniques that I never tried before: using low tack tape for Saturn, its rings and moons, paint brush splattering to get the stars in the background and craters on the moons, and I tried paint swiping to do the comets.

I even gave Saturn some oblateness to make it more accurate to the real thing

As soon someone who collects magnets and loves astronomy this is amazing! It’s so beautiful.
