We landed on the impact melt floor of a crater on the Moon and looked back at the Earth out our porthole window. Our rocketship was now quiet, its long shadow lined by a glory of scattered light from the cloud of condensed water still enveloping the ship. I painted this scene on a 4 inch-diameter wooden coaster, and framed it under glass in a 6.5 inch-diameter porthole-styled picture frame. The painting is being sold framed in this porthole frame and is ready to hang.

I am a planetary scientist who loves to draw and paint. My artwork is about space and time, and our tiny yet hopeful place in their vastness. I draw and paint about our distant past, events we've survived, our profound cosmic loneliness, and where we might go from here. Mars is the challenge of our time. Humans going to Mars will be greatest adventure in space exploration this century. Beyond Mars, we should journey to Saturn's moon, Titan, and one day, to the stars and deep into spacetime. Although I am optimistic about our future in space and time, we face a daunting challenge in their exploration. Our spaceships are frail arks launching into an indifferent cosmic ocean. Spacesuits are covered in grit. Rovers break down. It's the engineering reality of our dream. I have in my garage a primitive spacetime machine in which I can, at considerable risk, visit distant worlds and other epochs. My artwork is my travel log. To see more of artwork:
