Four more for Illuxcon...

 "Gold Ring Interchange"

(8x10", Oils on Linen, Framed)  Price: $420.00  SOLD

Not the greatest photos of these latest four rocket doodles, so sorry about that. I wanted to revisit the 'space station beneath the rings' theme from a couple of previous paintings, in particular, 'Gossmere - Gossamer - Base'. Different concept idea with a more glowing colour and light. Originally called 'Shimmer Rings' as a working title during the design phase, I decided to change it after I'd finished the painting. It was way more golden orange than anticipated and I liked it a lot more. Below, is the design drawing from my teeny sketchbook.

 

"Fire Moon City"

(6x8", Oils on Linen, Framed)  Price: $300.00

I had fun with this painting. I drew it up directly onto the canvas using an atmospheric sun as a reference while the space station is an extrapolation of a design from a painting from some years back. Whenever I went to look at the painting or hang it up, I kind of have to stop myself from hanging it the wrong way up. The station is SUPPOSED to look like that, but my brain wants it the other way. LOL The photo does not do the original justice in any way shape or form. It glows in the right light. 

"Black Opal Fire Base"

(5x7", Oils on Linen, Framed)  Price: $ 270.00

Another 'real' rocket doodle. I drew this idea directly onto canvas as well. I always like the contrariness of red against blue or black for 'pop' effects. And yes, this one reminds me of opals from where I was born. 

"Edge of Elysium"

(5x7", Oils on Linen, Framed)  Price: $280.00  SOLD

With this rocket doodle, I just wanted to play around with colour, a distant sun viewed through a glorious nebula...and a rocket off to look at what's on the other side. I had a lot of fun with this one. And it is also a true rocket doodle in the respect that I drew the ship and the sun placement directly onto canvas and then went to town.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by. I'll post more soon.
Cheers,

Marianne
