Five years ago I bought my first oil paint. That tube is still with me today, I've finished the white up though. 🤭 It feels like yesterday, yet I've achieved SO much!! I'm incredibly lucky to have found such an amazing space family. I also think I've improved a little bit since then, no?😂 🐡🧪🔭

I definitely underestimated how much paint an 18" canvas would take. Finished this tube in two days trying to build texture.😂 Definitely need to get some acrylic medium if I do anymore huge canvases in future.🤭

I keep swinging between being SO excited to finish this collection and show you all. And wondering why the hell I'm wasting my time when I've committed the social media cardinal sin and not filmed any footage. My engagement is already fairly rubbish so, what's the point?🤷‍♀️

So I missed Observe The Moon Night, it was cloudy and I've done something to my neck/shoulder. BUT I will never pass up any opportunity to share the Moon with you all, so here are two past paintings and possibly my best ever photo!🤭 Sending you all love and clear skies!💜💫 🧪🔭📷🐡

I think someone's telling me I'm done with painting for now?🤭 He has forced his way on my knee, sat looking at me with sleepy eyes for ages and is now curled up.🥹 I will never say no to him, love of my life.🥰

Just a reminder; I PAINTED THIS! With my own hands and no AI. I also consume basically no water on a daily basis.😂 I'm working on pieces for my next collection rn but do have space and time for new commissions. If you're interested lmk!💜💫 🧪🔭🐡

Am I actually a space artist?🤔 I know I am & my mission to share space with everyone isn't going anywhere. But it is still an interesting question to put to you all! This might also give you a hint as to what I've been working on painting for months.🤭 Sending you all love and clear skies!💜💫 🧪🔭🐡

I was clouded out last night, so here's an old painting of a Lunar eclipse!🤭 🧪🔭📷🐡

This is happening tonight! Well very early tomorrow technically. 🤭 We're getting nearly 94% coverage and maximum eclipse is at 5.12am. The Moon will be very low in the West. Wishing you all clear skies for it, the weather could have waited another few days until the rain decided to come back! 🧪🔭📷

Better late than never, no?🤭 This piece got left for years, but I knew I needed to finish it to see my idea come to life. Figuring out where to place the hinges was a challenge, & it isn't perfect. But I'm happy with it! What do we think my loves? Sending you all love & clear skies!💜💫 🧪🔭🐡

Two pages again this week!😍 I reflected today, on how far I've come. It absolutely blows my mind, all the things that lined up to bring me here. It's insane and I am forever thankful for all of you! What wins have we had this week? What's made you smile?🥳 Sending you all love and clear skies!💜💫

If you loved the solar eclipse last week, here's your reminder that there's a Lunar eclipse next week too!!! The Moon will be in the south west. You don't need any special equipment for this one either, just the desire to stay up very late.🤭 🧪🔭

Five years ago today I woke up to the news that I'd managed to get myself a @cathrinmachin.bsky.social original painting! Not to sound dramatic but it kinda changed my life. It led me to meet the most incredible people, spend the day with Cat and made me delusional enough to sell my own work.🤭

The painting I need to do next scares me so much. It's a bigish canvas and such a well known object that it has to look good.😬 I just need to drink my coffee, get my music on and start. I know I'm overthinking it but.🫣 What are your weekend plans?!💜💫

Vicky Paints Space @vickypaintsspace.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

This is a safe place for us all to share wins, regardless of themes! (As long as they're morally correct!) I've seen so many photos of you all enjoying the eclipse, which warms my heart. What wins have we had this week? What's made you smile? Sending you all love and clear skies!💜💫

Has anyone made a Scope checklist for the eclipse, because I swear I'm forgetting something?!😂😂 (Don't think I actually have, I'm just doubting myself 😬) First ever time taking Scopey out on a proper space date!!!! (We've only had garden dates so far.)🤭🥰

Ahhhh today is the day! I am so excited 😁😁😁 I know we're not getting full coverage here in the UK, but it's likely the last fullest one I'll ever see.🤭😍 Please remember to use the correct protective equipment and NEVER look at the Sun directly! 🌞

Music on ✔️ Paint out ✔️ I'm not filming, so I don't have have to try and be aesthetic. So yes, my palette is a mess and I do not care. Zoning out in my happy place, my head can fu*k off!✌️ (Can anyone actually figure out what this will be?🤔)🖌🎨🐡🧪🔭

I've had a headache/migraine/eyes have felt funny for days now. All I want to do is paint & my body is conspiring against me. Fgs.😪 Here's a reminder to us all that brighter days are coming.🤭 I hope you're all doing super well! How have your weekends been?! Sending you all love and clear skies!💜💫

Reality can wait until another day. I have important things to do on @playpalia.com 🤭 It's already 29 degrees, too hot to attempt to function and paint.🫣 So, I'm being selfish and taking today for me.💫 (And yes of course I have a Leo in game with me too!🥰)

It's been six months since I've touched oils! My god I have missed them. I'm going to lose myself in paint and music today. I should be painting my next collection, but I just want to have fun today.🤭 🖌🎨🐡

Adding the Cosmic Dust really made this piece pop! Our next door neighbour with its own little bit of genuine space. I am so grateful for this commission, I'd been wanting to repaint Andromeda, so what a way to do it! What do we think?! Sending you all love and clear skies!💜💫 📷🔭🐡🧪
