Welcome to all who create or simply enjoy space art in all its forms. Amateur or pro, from the photo realistic panoramas of places or things not of this Earth, to the impressionistic visions evoked by the wonders of the heavens, all are encouraged to add photos of their work for others to see and comment on. Or simply have a discussions about art or space.

Apologies for the delay this time around, Aldo Spadoni has kindly helped us out with a third choice, has made his second choice and it is M42 by Sean Brady

Sean Brady, "M42"

Aldo says:

My third choice is M42, The Great Nebula in Orion, by Sean Brady.

This is nicely composed and balanced painting that is so very pleasing to the eye. The great nebula is beautifully rendered with subtle coloration. What an awesome sight! Sean has scaled and cropped the nebula in a very interesting fashion, making it almost look like some majestic flying creature with outstretched wings soaring over the horizon.

The landscape is particularly well matched to the background. The hills in the foreground have a subtle softness to

them that works really well. This is classic space art at its finest.

One can’t really tell if this painting was created with traditional or digital techniques, and that’s the way it should be. No matter how he did it, Sean’s skill as an artist shines through. Great work, Sean!
