Life Without Stars - My thought process for Composition

I plan to have this painting done for our next meeting. I thought you might like to know my thought process.

I am finally thru my compositions and am ready to get this done.
I originally thought my composition would be about the Big Dipper and how it provides direction and perspective. However, I am not a sailor. Plenty of people have used its North Star for safe passage. However, I never have, so I realize I don't connect to it that way. For me, the big dipper is romantic. It is always there. It connects you to your past and future. It is a reliable friend.

Being Synchronism's newest fan, I am going to compose my painting with the story of the Great Bear (Ursa Major) being chased into the heavens. Now that is something much closer to me! Staying a steady course with the North Star is not me. That composition is best served for a sailor/painter. I am the farm boy/painter meandering thru life and the open stars.
