I know I've shared this one a lot lately, but so help me I just love the energy of this piece, which I've been playing around with a bit; lo, a slightly softer and brighter version of my sci-fi caprice "Reach for the Light" (yes, those are solar sails in silhouette).

We think of blue as the definitive hue of the sci-fi space future, but warm golds and reds can look just as impressive. I think that as I look back at this piece I made, "Telescope in three horses' heads gold nebula".

One of my earlier attempts at digital art, and it is such a simple, abstract, almost silly thing...but so help me I just *love* these deep blue atmospherics.

My rendition of a planet like our Neptune as viewed from orbit, "A Storm in Blue".

Last one of my old headers! :D

They might look "buggy", but hexagons are a real shape proposed for solar sails...and it looks like this fleet is going to take advantage of some serious radiation pressure, as they "Reach for the Suns".

Painting by me.

Oh I'm sure it'd take the mother of all tinted windows to stop it from blinding you, but imagine being on a solar sail, making a fly-by to gain speed to your final destination, and then seeing *this* out your window. The ultimate scenic route, in my own painting, "Reach for the light".

It would *ruin* observations of other stars and galaxies, but when you're surrounded by a sight this awesome, who cares about astronomical targets further afield?

Painted by yours truly: "Telescope in blue nebula with comets".
