Telescope Reviews: Re: The Surface of Europa

Thanks Mark, but I do not consider my work to rest in the abstract genre. My work is as realistic as I can make it.
This painting is as accurate in detail as possible and is representational of the original image. The painting is heavily textured and very tactile.

I looked closely at a slice of the Chaos region, which it is a bit like a fractal, the more you look, the more you see.
The ice on the surface is broken and scared and forged together in millions of sections. Europa has a fantastic surface, very difficult to reproduce, I did my best with it.

Yes I do observe the sun in h- alpha and yes I do sketches and paintings of what I see. Yes I do use pastels most of the time, they are wonderful to work with.

Well done on your space weather moment.
