Finished my #Mars piece! RIPPLES OF BARSOOM, a close-up of two ancient #Martian tributaries and the main river channel of Nirgal Vallis, as captured by @uahirise . 16x12”, ink on cotton

I’m combining two #SpacetoberChallenge prompts: Re-entry/Landing and Space Center!

MIDNIGHT ZEPHYR, 10x13”, pearlescent #watercolor on black. Capturing the surreal final landing of shuttle Atlantis on July 21, 2011, bringing the Space Shuttle Program to a close.

It’s hard to capture what I’m doing with this latest #Mars piece , but I think at last the sand and rock of converging #Martian #dunes are coming into focus, as captured by HiRISE.

Today’s #SpacetoberChallenge is #Moon! I love enhanced colored images that bring out the #geology and chemical content more, like my MINERAL MOON #watercolor from last year.

Today’s #SpacetoberChallenge is #LaunchVehicle! How could I not kick this off with the biggest and baddest rocket, #SpaceX Super Heavy and Starship? DAWN OF A NEW ERA, watercolor and ink, featuring the IFT-2 launch from last year.

This latest #Mars piece is a lot of squiggly sepia details. The sand and rock textures are a blast to try my hand at representing #Martian #dunes as captured by UAHiRISE. (And you’ll be shocked at what I plan to layer over this! 😉)
