Ad Astra!
I did this as a small painting, something to take to Lunacon for sales in the "lower" budget arena. Thing is, it'll be part of the Heinlein book I did the other piece for, and, I liked this composition so much, that I want to make it as a large 24x36 inch painting!! Enjoy!
Update: I sold this at Lunacon, but more to come....

I doft my hat to you sir, being of such calibre to paint a starfield with a real brush!
Great colors. Great massive rock which give a wonderful sense of scale.
Ian-thank you so much! Yeah, it's even harder to do these in oils as well!
Julie-thanks, that was the general idea I wanted to get across. Now I want to make it bigger!
Bob, one of these times, when I see you at a con, we need to sit down and talk about rock textures. I just can't get very good results except using a bizzare "scrape away" technique. (Gives a very odd, "Forbidden Planet" feel to them, but i'm having a devil of a time establishing aireal perspective, and variation.
Hi Joe! I'd be thrilled to help out. Painting rocks and stuff is quite easy, on this I used a palette knife more than just a bit..I created-fast-an intersting shape and worked with it!
