Luxton’s ‘Starstream’ paintings are inspired by visions of Icelandic waterfalls, combined with the cosmic phenomenon of the Stellar Stream: stars that move together in a line by the gravitational pull of a galaxy. Luxton depicts the stars as multicoloured orbs are suspended in the white powdery spray of a waterfall, which evoke the fun childhood image of beach balls. She creates her stars with a luminous traditional oil medium, in which yellows, greens, pinks and blues are suspended, all merging into one.

short:
'Starstream' is inspired by visions of Icelandic waterfalls, and the cosmic phenomenon Stellar Stream: stars moving together in a line by the gravitational pull of a galaxy. Luxton's stars contain the colours of the rainbow in a luminous oil glaze.
