The sun travels through the universe like a comet, the planets follow in rotation. In my larger composition this child’s ship rides the braided wake of the spinning solar system inside the body of a whale. The child is humanity, the ship is earth. Does the solar system have skin we can’t see yet? Does the sun know where it’s going?
The Design: The featured images is a color-sketch of a detail in the final oil painting to be.

The Painting: You are investing in the large scale final oil painting. In the large scale painting the whale and child traveler will be rendered a similar size, but have the expanse of the universe around them. The space around them will be much more vast on an 8 foot by 6 foot canvas. The viewer will feel like they are looking at the night sky reflecting on the surface of water. I am experimenting with the blackest of black pigment to create a strong illusion of the void of space and evoke a feeling of weightlessness.
