Artist Comments

This painting is fan art of the famous Starship Enterprise from the iconic 1960s TV show Star Trek. It was my favorite show when I was a kid, and it still is!

This isn’t the first time I’ve painted the Enterprise. I painted the famous starship years ago when I was a young teen and entered it in a local art show. My painting got a lot of attention back then, and I remember there were many conversations over it. Unfortunately, it’s been so long ago that I can’t remember if it was a juried art show or not. However, I do remember that the painting sold, and that was very exciting for a teenager just starting out as an artist of oil paintings.

The title for this painting came from the show’s opening monologue.

Star Trek Opening Monologue

Space: the final frontier.
These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.
Its 5-year mission:
To explore strange new worlds;
To seek out new life and new civilizations;
To boldly go where no man has gone before!

Artist Comments

This painting of the full moon and earth is a view from the International Space Station (ISS). I composed it using a NASA photo. It was taken by an astronaut while looking out the window of the ISS towards the moon.

The full moon is pictured from the International Space Station | NASA

The painting and the photo I referenced make it appear that the Moon is in close orbit hovering right over the earth, however, I can assure you it is not.  The Moon is an average of 238,855 miles away, and the ISS is orbiting at about 250 miles above the Earth.

Artist Comments

I painted Starry Night with Lone Scraggly Tree because I wanted to do a night sky painting with the Milky Way. I have done a number of space paintings, but only a few of them depict space closer to home, Earth. There is so much out in the vastness of space to paint, galaxies, nebulas, suns, planets, gasses, stars, etc. I don’t think I’ll ever run out of subject matter to paint in the night sky or outer space.

Starry Night… reminds me of Psalm 19:1 which tells us “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.”

As I view Starry Night…, a Christian worship song I often hear on the radio comes to mind. You can listen to it here “God of Wonders Beyond Our Galaxy” by Chris Tomlin. I have the lyrics below so you can follow along with the song.

God of Wonders
~ Chris Tomlin

Lord of all creation
Of water, earth, and sky
The heavens are Your tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on High

God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy

Lord of heaven and earth
Lord of heaven and earth

Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
And as I stumble through the darkness
I will call Your name by night

God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy

Lord of heaven and earth
Lord of heaven and earth

Artist Comments

This faraway galaxy painting is one of several small space artworks I’ve done. As a huge fan of the space program, I’m often looking at images of distant star systems, nebulae, constellations, planets, and moons, and considering how I might compose a painting from them. Some of the space paintings I’ve done are from actual NASA photos such as “First Man on the Moon,” and others are just my imagination.

Artist Comments

The most eye-catching feature of this painting is that big orange moon in the night sky silhouetted by an egret. Looking at it, one can easily daydream what it might be like to “fly away” to Earth’s only satellite and beyond. Sometimes I feel as if I should have become an astronaut instead of an artist.

The night sky is one of my favorite things. I love looking up at it to see the vastness of outer space, the faraway planets, the milky way along with all the stars and constellations, and of course, Earth’s moon in whichever stage it happens to be in at the time. I especially love seeing our moon shining so brightly it makes the night look like it’s daytime!

What Makes The Moon Appear In Different Colors?

A unique and beautiful feature of our moon is its ability to appear in different colors. In truth, the moon doesn’t really change color at all; it only seems to be changing color because we are viewing it through Earth’s atmosphere. As we view the moon, we look up through the various layers of our atmosphere and all the particles in it, such as dust, smoke, and pollution.

One other thing that affects the way we perceive the moon is its location in the sky. For instance, the moon often appears more yellow or orange when it is closer to the horizon. This is because the angle we see it through is a denser portion of Earth’s atmosphere. When the moon is in a higher position up in the sky or directly above us, we are looking through a much thinner layer of the atmosphere, causing it to be visible in its more normal color of silvery white or ash gray.

There is one more explanation that is more complex called “Rayleigh’s scattering.” This involves sunlight which is made up of a combination of different color wavelengths. When sunlight hits our atmosphere, Rayleigh’s scattering takes over and “scatters” the various wavelengths. Suffice it to say; this natural phenomenon causes the colorful sunrises and sunsets we get to enjoy every day. It is also responsible for making the sky look blue during the daylight hours and affects the moon’s color day or night. How this all works is fascinating.  Click here for more information on this phenomenon.

Artist Comments

A few years ago, my husband and I took a trip to San Antonio, TX, the day after Thanksgiving. We planned for a long weekend. While there, we spent the evenings strolling the streets around the Alamo when we came across an artist selling his space art on the sidewalk. The interesting part about this, he was painting them right then and there as spectators watched. It was fascinating to watch him create faraway worlds, moons, cosmic formations, and alien landscapes. I looked on as he created his artwork using spray paint and props to mask off certain areas of the canvas paper he didn’t want overspray to hit. Each creation only took a few minutes to complete. And no two paintings were alike. I could have watched him all night! When we returned home from that long weekend, I decided to do some space paintings of my own.

Space art isn’t a new genre of art for me. I painted my first outer space painting as a young teen for an arts and crafts show I entered. My love of the iconic TV show Star Trek led me to paint the “Starship Enterprise” in orbit around some distant planet. The painting got a lot of attention at that small art show and later it sold. I wish I had a photo of it, but I was a young teen at the time and didn’t even think to do that. Besides, I was just so excited that someone wanted to pay for my painting!

Decades would pass before I did another otherworldly painting, and that space art painting was a commission. The painting consisted of a lunar landscape depicting Apollo 14’s mission to the moon and man’s first footprint left there. This sparked a renewed interest in creating more space landscapes to add to my repertoire of space art.

I’m a huge fan of the space program. I love the idea of visiting other worlds to see what’s out there. One could say I’m a bit of an adventurer at heart. As a matter of fact, to me being able to travel through the far reaches of the galaxy would be the ultimate in adventure. Maybe someday I will, but for today, I’ll have to settle for that adventure on the surface of my canvases in the space art paintings I create.

Artist Comments

I love great sci-fi movies like Star Trek, Star Wars, and Star Gate; just about any story where space travel is involved. I should have grown up to be an astronaut instead of an artist, well, maybe. The bottom line is, I love adventure, and to me, traveling through the far reaches of outer space would be the ultimate in adventure.  It was only natural that I create a painting with the subject of space travel.

In addition to loving the idea of space travel, I am very interested in our national space program and the newly formed United States Space Force. I’m amazed at the many modern inventions we take for granted made possible because of space technology. Inventions like long-distance telecommunications, cellphones, water filters, invisible braces, scratch-resistant lenses used in our eyeglasses, and even memory foam used to make our mattresses. Other inventions include solar energy and the insulation used in our attics and walls and portable cordless vacuums, workout equipment, and CatScans. Even smoke detectors, cordless tools, and artificial limbs, to name just a few. Indeed space travel and exploration have created new markets and new technologies that have spurred economic growth and enriched our lives in many ways.

Lastly, I call this painting “…The Next Frontier” because I do not believe space exploration is our final destiny. We explore space; it is our next frontier, not our last. The last frontier is life with our Creator God in His kingdom for all eternity! The Bible has much to say about this topic. Check it out for yourself!

Check out this website for a list of those inventions.

Artist Comments

Full Moon Rising was inspired by the east Texas moon. This is a painting depicting a full moon rising with a star-filled sky in the background. Ever since man first looked up at the stars, he has been fascinated by the giant sphere that hangs in the night sky above us, and this particular artist is no exception. My favorite time to take a walk is in the late evening before turning in for the night. I love looking up into the night sky and seeing the stars and the moon on a cloudless or almost cloudless night. I especially love the times when the moon shines so brightly it lights up the night to so it looks almost like day! Just one of the many “bennies” of country living.

The Far Side of the Moon

FYI…Did you know the common belief the moon has a dark side is a myth? The truth is both sides of the Moon see the same amount of sunlight. The Moon rotates around on its axis about once every 27 days. This is approximately the same amount of time it takes to orbit the Earth, which means the same side is always facing the Earth. Astronomers call this phenomenon “synchronous rotation.” Only about 59% of the moon is ever visible to Earth throughout an entire orbit. The rest of the 41% — the part we call “dark” — is the part we never get to see from Earth. The “far side” of the Moon has only been seen by the human eye from a spacecraft.

Artist Comments

The First Man on the Moon painting is a tribute to American Astronaut Neil Armstrong. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first men to land a spacecraft on the moon. However, it was Armstrong who took that first step onto its surface. A third crew member, Michael Collins, was alone orbiting the Moon in the Command Module Columbia awaiting their return.

Armstrong was commander for the Apollo 11 lunar mission. In this historic mission, Armstrong became a global hero the instant he made that “one giant leap for mankind” with a small step onto the moon’s surface. The crew of Columbia took a TV camera with them so the world could watch as they spent about 2 hours on the lunar surface collecting soil samples and conducting a few experiments.

I was just a young girl the day Armstrong walked on the moon, and I don’t remember a lot about it, but I do remember watching the footage on TV. During that time, Armstrong and Aldrin also took photographs, unveiled a plaque to commemorate their flight, and planted the United States flag.

Armstrong died on August 25, 2012, at 82 years of age. I finished this painting a few months before his death.

About The U.S. Flag “Waving On The Moon”

An admirer of this painting asked about the flag. He wanted to know why it appears to be waving since  “… the flag would be straight and flat in space because there isn’t any wind. ”

I replied, “Yes, you are correct, and I had considered that when I was composing this painting.” I did some research on the matter before I started my work. This is what I discovered:

    • The NASA photo I used as a reference photo has ripples in the flag.
    • The flag pole itself has a crossbar at the top, which prevents the flag from drooping down.
    • Armstrong used a twisting motion to plant the flag pole into the ground causing the flag to wave back and forth. And since there is low gravity on the moon, what is set in motion tends to stay in motion for a very long time. When the photo was snapped, this created the impression the flag was blowing in the wind.
