I apologize. I meant to say that it "looks like an abstract artwork". I keep thinking that we are not allowed to put "art" from first time observation in the sketching forum unless it is realistic and not embellished so that is why it is here in the art forum. I keep thinking that all work here in the AstroArt forum is here because it is not realistic and not from first time observation as is required in the sketching forum.
Yes, I meant to say that your rendition of Europas surface looks authentic as compared to the real photos from the Galileo Spacecraft. Yet it may appear to the casual observer as an abstract art form. The press announced some time ago that "In the far future, the Hubble Space Telescope may go down in the history books as being the greatest producer of space art."
I look forward to seeing more of your work. Do you have a gallery here with other works? I will look forward to seeing your solar art works.
best regards,
Mark
