Alpha Canis Minoris, chief star of Canis Minor and the sister-star of Sirius, she best known to us by her Greek name: Procyon (literally: before the dog). Despite being part of a lesser-known constellation, Procyon is actually rather larger than Sirius, being almost sub-giant in size. Like her brother, however, she is also a binary system with a white dwarf companion—here represented by a white owl. Along with Sirius, she is also one of the vertices of the Winter Triangle (the third being Betelgeuse).

Procyon is a warm white star with a spectral type of F5IV-V, with a DQZ white dwarf companion.

Oil paints and gold and silver leaf on 6"x6" gessobord. Fourth in a batch of 6 Astral Chimera. Went to the FC art show but was not purchased. Will be going to the AC art show next, unless someone CANNOT WAIT in which case they are perfectly welcome to send me a note and we can talk pricing options.
